Description
This 90-minute accredited online training course is a detailed introductory course to provide the participant with an appreciation of the complexities involved in mixing and multiphase processing. The fundamentals of mixing are applied to industrial processing. Mixing processes will be analyzed for single phase systems in the laminar and turbulent regimes. Power sources and fluid motions for processing will be reviewed. Solid/liquid, gas/liquid and liquid/liquid systems will be discussed. A review of chemical reactor design will be given. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.
