Question

The rate of mixing in an equipment can be explained by:

• A. Mixing index
• B. Uniformity index
• C. Power requirement
• D. Power index

Hint:

A Mixing Index of 1 indicates a perfectly random mixture. If the index is very low, it means the components are still separated into distinct clusters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Judging how well a mixing process is working needs a way to measure how close the mixture has come to a perfectly random blend. The mixing index does this by comparing how spread out samples actually are against how spread out they would be in an ideal random mixture, and it approaches a steady value as mixing time increases. The pace at which this index climbs toward that steady value tells you the rate of mixing, while power requirement only tells you about energy use, not how well things are blending.
