Mixers
Abstract
Mixing processes are used in process plants to promote heat and/or mass transfer, homogenize mixtures, and keep solids suspended in a fluid, amongst other things. As with reactors, there are from the process designer’s point of view of batch and continuous mixers, operating in either plug flow or completely mixed regimes. From the layout designer’s viewpoint, this means that mixing generally occurs in either a dynamically mixed tank or a static mixer (essentially a baffled tubular vessel).
