Amr Morsi Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Some reactions, where there is adequately large volume of reactants (number of moles, meant), doesn't need stirring, although they are viscous enough to prevent density currents/flows.

CaptainPanic Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It can be because the reactants are already mixed, and just need time to react. Diffusion causes mixing. In some situations, this is sufficient. In large industrial reactors, sometimes mixing is achieved through other means than mixers. Turbulence can cause mixing too.

Amr Morsi Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Then mixed moles interact and viscosity vanish and then gradual mixing initiates?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Then mixed moles interact and viscosity vanish and then gradual mixing initiates?! Why would viscosity vanish? All liquids and gases have a viscosity. Viscosity never vanishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPanic Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Type of liquid changes then properties change. Ok, so viscosity can be reduced (not vanish), or increased... It depends on the reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
