What are the Challenges in Achieving Excellent Mixing?
Achieving excellent mixing can be challenging due to factors like high viscosity of the reactants, complex [reaction kinetics](href), and the presence of multiple phases (solid, liquid, and gas). Additionally, the scale of the operation (lab-scale vs. industrial-scale) can pose difficulties in maintaining consistent mixing. Engineers often need to balance mixing intensity to avoid excessive shear forces that might degrade sensitive catalysts.
