Abstract
In a helical ribbon agitator, mixing patterns and mixing times for two miscible, highly viscous Newtonian liquids with different viscosities are investigated. From the observed mixing patterns, empirical correlations for mixing time are obtained as functions of the Reynolds number and a dimensionless number defined by the ratio of gravitational to viscous force. The optimum operational conditions for the mixing process are predicted from these correlations.Keywords
