ABSTRACT
Even a great recipe turns out to be a delicious food only when the right amounts of ingredients and flavors are well mixed. Mixing is a unit operation that involves combining two or more components by dispersing one throughout the other. The component in larger proportion is termed as the continuous phase, whereas that in smaller proportion is termed as the dispersed phase. The end product obtained after mixing is a uniform mixture. Thus, mixing can be formally defined as any operation that changes a non-uniform system into a uniform one. In other words, mixing is the random distribution into and through one another of two or more initially separated phases.
