The batch mixing of Newtonian liquids with reciprocating plate agitator was
studied in a vessel of 0.248 m in diameter and of 0.678 m in height. A the
rmal-response technique was used for mixing time measurements. The mixing t
ime characteristic was described by a modified dimensionless mixing time nu
mber - Reynolds number equation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights
