Mixing (process engineering) Process of mechanically stirring a heterogeneous mixture to homogenize it In industrial process engineering, mixing is a unit operation that involves manipulation of a heterogeneous physical system with the intent to make it more homogeneous. Familiar examples include pumping of the water in a swimming pool to homogenize the water temperature, and the stirring of pancake batter to eliminate lumps (deagglomeration). With the right equipment, it is possible to mix a solid, liquid or gas into another solid, liquid or gas.
A biofuel fermenter may require the mixing of microbes, gases and liquid medium for optimal yield; organic nitration requires concentrated (liquid) nitric and sulfuric acids to be mixed with a hydrophobic organic phase; production of pharmaceutical tablets requires blending of solid powders. The opposite of mixing is segregation. A classical example of segregation is the brazil nut effect. Mixing classification[edit] Liquid–liquid mixing[edit] Single-phase blending[edit] Mixed Methods.
