Residence Time Distributions in Continuous Processing of Concrete
Abstract Digital fabrication with concrete introduces new challenges in terms of continuous processing of concrete. To enable increased vertical building rates, accelerators are dosed at a nozzle reactor unit directly before placement in many of these processes. The details of this mixing process have large implications for the behavior of the system and the success of the process. The measurement of residence time distribution (RTD) is a potentially useful tool in understanding these processes and diagnosing pathological behavior of reactors. In this study, the RTD of the Smart Dynamic Casting (SDC) reactor is measured, and implications for this process and other digital fabrication processes are considered.
