Investigation of Mixing in Solids

The target of solids mixing is to obtain a product with acceptable quality or to control rates of heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reaction. First, the part of this review paper is to introduce the role of solids mixing in industries. Second, mechanisms of solids mixing are investigated, and then segregation phenomenon which determines a satisfactory mixing is briefly discussed. In the next section, types and quality of mixtures are investigated. Finally, the principles of sampling and selection of mixers are briefly investigated.
