What are the Challenges in Achieving Homogeneous Mixing?
Despite the techniques available, achieving homogeneous mixing can be challenging due to:
Scale-up issues - What works in a laboratory may not be directly applicable to industrial scales. Complex fluid dynamics - Understanding and controlling the intricate flow patterns can be difficult. Reaction kinetics - Fast reactions may require more efficient mixing to ensure uniformity. Thermal management - Uneven heating can lead to hot spots and decreased mixing efficiency.
