Agitation and Mixing of Liquids topics include: Agitation power and scale up, mixing performance analysis, solids suspension, gas dispersion and bubble behaviour. Agitation refers to forcing a fluid by mechanical means to flow in a vessel. Mixing liquids is a common operation in the chemical and process industries. When two liquids combine to form a new liquid, they are called "miscible". If the liquids do not mix and form layers, they are called "immiscible".

When two liquids combine to form a new liquid, they are called "miscible". If the liquids do not mix and form layers, they are called "immiscible". Here are some other concepts related to mixing liquids: Blending: The process of mixing miscible liquids that are easily liquefied into a homogenous phase. Agitators can blend liquids of similar viscosities, but not different viscosities. Turbulent flow: A type of fluid flow where the fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations or mixing. Laminar flow: A type of liquid or gas flow where a fluid passes through a conduit regularly or smoothly. Molecular diffusion: Essential to achieve mixing between two liquids. Distillation: A process where a mixture of two or more liquids with different boiling points can be separated from each other. Dissolution: The process of mixing a solute into a large quantity of solvent, resulting in the formation of a homogeneous mixture.
