This is a presentation on mixing and continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR). Three radically simplifying ChE assumptions are that gasses are ideal, processes run at steady state, and stirred tanks are perfectly mixed. Real processes are full of saturated gasses, time varying operations, and complex mixing problems. In this short introduction, a technical definition of mixing is used as a framework to illustrate interesting industrial mixing problems in pharmaceutical process development, nuclear waste clean-up, bioreactors, cosmetics and food production. Participants will leave with tools to identify mixing sensitive points in a process before they become mixing problems.
