About this document
Agitation vs. Mixing: Key Differences Explained by michsantos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Agitation refers to the induced motion of a material within a container in a circulatory pattern, while mixing is the random distribution of two or more initially separate phases into and through one another. Mixing is more difficult to study than agitation due to less reproducible patterns and dependence on the definition used by the experimenter. Common criteria to measure mixing include visual blending, the rate of decay of random samples, and the rate of transfer between phases.
