“…Numerous research reports have been published on the mixing times of stirred tanks with other types of impellers. The mixing time in a stirred tank can be measured experimentally using the electron conductivity method (Bujalski et al, 2002a;Giona et al, 2002), decolorization method (Aizawa et al, 2009;Takahashi et al, 2012), electrical resistance tomography (Rodgers et al, 2009(Rodgers et al, , 2011, planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) (Zadghaffari et al, 2009;Hu et al, 2012), and thermographic technique (Lee and Yianneskis, 1997). Ascanio (2015) summarized the methods, theories, and advantages and disadvantages of these experimental measurement techniques in detail.…”
