The hydrodynamic efficiency of bioreactors is contingent upon the design impeller, particularly blade geometry, which influences flow symmetry. This study evaluates impact dimpled surfaces on blades a turbine impeller mixing processes. Investigations were conducted using simulations in ANSYS (2021R2) with k-ε turbulence model and experiments measuring vortex funnel depth power consumption at 247 rpm an 11-L cylindrical vessel. Results indicate that dimples disrupt rotational symmetry blades, increasing volume-averaged velocity from 0.312 m/s to 0.321 (a 2.9% increase); maximum shear strain rate 161 s−1 1442 s−1; turbulent frequency 183 290 58% increase). rose 44 63 43% improvement), increased mm 50 14% increase), indicating enhanced homogenization. facilitates efficient processing sensitive biological organisms, such as mycoplasmas, more robust structures, including fungi mycelium. However, by 4.5% (from 4.9 W 5.1 W). Thus, disrupting intensifies processes, enhancing efficiency, but requires optimization reduce energy costs, offering prospects for advancing biotechnological systems.

Surface roughness plays a crucial role in determining surface quality, influencing factors such as vibration, noise, assembly precision, lubrication, and wear resistance bearings. This research examines how (Sa) affects the friction characteristics of GCr15 steel under conditions with adequate oil lubrication while varying applied load. The findings indicate that an increase Sa, coefficient also increases. As load rises from 15 N to 35 N, remains relatively constant. However, higher loads lead more severe microprotrusions on steel. area first decreases then increases Sa minimum occurs when is 0.5 μm. Additionally, back propagation neural network (BPNN) model has been developed predict performance Validation experiments show average prediction error for BPNN 10.64%.
