Summary

Mixing tasks can be performed in pipelines as well as tanks. Pipes which contain motionless or static mixers have proven very useful in industry. Excellent process results can be achieved in both laminar and turbulent flow. The pressure drop required and guidelines for design of pipeline mixers for blending, gas liquid and liquid liquid dispersion as well as heat transfer and plug flow are given.
