AGITATION, MIXING AND CALCULUS
WITH NON NEWTONIAN FLUIDS
 AGITATION

• Agitation is de induced motion of a material in

a specified way,
way usually in a circulatory pattern
inside sort of container.
 MIXING AND BLENDING

• Mixing is the random distribution into and

through one another,
another of two or more initially
separate phases.
• Blending refers to homogenize
• A simple material as a tankful of cold water
can be agitated, but it cannot be mixed until
another some other material (such as hot
water, solid or gas material) is addet to it.
In this chapter we will see:

9 Agitation of liquids of low to moderate

viscosity.
9 Mixing of liquids, liquid-gas dispersions, liquid-
p
solid dispersions.
9 Calculus of economic diameter, and loss in
fittings and pipes for Non – Newtonian fluids.
