CerebroMixLight is an easy-to-use engineering tool for the design and evaluation of fluid mixers and atmospheric tanks. The program will give engineers and scientists a better understanding of the fluid processing equipment they are using, allowing them to verify the efficiency of the mixer, compare different impellers, design new systems, optimize the system with respect to tank shape, power consumption, etc.

The software has an extensive library of impeller types, including:

The shaft can be either centered or off-center, and the vessels can be run with or without baffles. Different impeller types can be used in the same geometry

The software handles the mixing of liquids (including viscous liquids), liquids with suspended solids, liquids with dispersed gas, or even three-phase – liquid, solid and gas. The liquids being mixed can be either miscible or immiscible, and can work in either the laminar or turbulent regimes. Apart from the type of mixing to be carried out, the user also specifies the overall vessel dimensions, primary fluid properties and the required level of agitation. Inputs can be in SI, MKS, British, or customizable units. The mixer design which the program calculates includes suggested impeller selections, rotational speeds, power requirements, shaft diameter, blade thickness and critical speeds. Calculated mechanical dimensions and power requirements can be adjusted to standard or actual values.

Output is in the form of a Microsoft Word report, containing scale-drawings of the system, together with all the input and calculated data: this is ideal for inclusion in company reports, process documentation or price proposals.

CerebroMix is a unique PC-based program which encompasses all the functionality of the other Cerebro products, CerebroTank, CerebroPV and CerebroMixLight. It is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the evaluation and design of mixers in vertical tanks, either pressurized or atmospheric. Using input data such as primary dimensions, fluid properties and certain desired mixing objectives, the program will output full operating conditions, critical impeller speeds, liquid level gradation, solid suspension and all system dimensions.

CerebroMix also allows the analysis of storage and process tanks, vertical or horizontal, pressurized or atmospheric. Using input data such as principal dimensions, fluid density, material, desired tank shape (including heads) and support type, the software calculates structural characteristics for both the tank and the support structure using ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and EN 13445 standards.

This software allows users and manufacturers of pressure vessels and mixers to check their equipment for various operating conditions, in order to provide a full analysis of performance, as well as risk assessment.

The program produces output in the form of a Microsoft Word Document, with all data listed in tabular form, together with a scale drawing of the tank and its support structure.
