Industrial mixing processes often present multiple optimization challenges to producing desirable products. The resulting processes must be cost effective, "first-time right," and frequently, the designated most-effective technology for the global manufacture of specific products. Mixing Process Technology: A Guide to Industrial Applications shares the authors' extensive knowledge of mixing research and industrial practice. It features 20 industrial mixing chapters that are purposely light on mixing fundamentals, while heavy on practical mixing applications for practical process design and manufacturing. This text serves as an applied guide to industrial mixing for practitioners who want brief explanations of mixing concepts with real-life examples and software to help perform associated design calculations. This book also:

  • Offers side-by-side discussion of mixing systems including impellers and rotor-stators, as offered by several major manufacturers
  • Describes the authors' innovative mixer designs to meet manufacturing needs
  • Includes a chapter by a mixer manufacturing representative describing design, sizing, and expensing of industrial mixers
  • Presents a chapter by a mixing equipment manufacturing leader that explains mechanical design considerations in clear terms
  • Contains a chapter on emerging mixing technologies, including mixing via resonant acoustics and controlled cavitation
  • Discusses computational fluid dynamics in mixing with multiple practical examples by a contributing author from a leading pharmaceutical company
  • Includes Excel-based mixing worksheets throughout book examples and Excel-based input/output (mixit-io) interface hosted on the publisher's website

This book is aimed at chemical and process engineers as well as students seeking to understand industrial mixing technology.

Kishore Kar dedicated 36 years of service to The Dow Chemical Company and retired as an R&D Fellow. Currently he is serving as a chemical process technology consultant. Kishore holds 18 US patents and has authored more than 35 publications, including two chapters in the Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing published by Taylor & Francis Group. He is the recipient of 2025 NAMF Award for excellence and sustained contributions to mixing research and practice. During his Dow career, Kishore led the Global Fluid Mechanics and Mixing Discipline. Kishore received his MS and PhD in mechanical engineering (fluid, thermal, and aerospace sciences) from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Richard Cope received his PhD in chemical engineering from Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, USA, and spent more than 19 years in chemicals R&D (Dow) and more than 7 years in biopharma R&D (Eli Lilly and Alkermes). In 2017, he conceived/co-designed a mixing experiment for the International Space Station. In 2020, he joined SPX FLOW, the world's largest mixing solutions provider. He has co-authored 19 papers/encyclopedia chapters and 7 US or world patents for mixing technologies. Richard was treasurer of the North American Mixing Forum (NAMF) from 2012 to 2024 and recipient of the NAMF Mixing Award in 2020.

Juergen Lueske enjoyed 35 years with The Dow Chemical Company. His focus in the Process Engineering group was project planning and process development, with an emphasis on modeling and simulation for large projects. In the Fluid Mechanics and Mixing group, his focus was calculations and modeling of gas-liquid contactors, especially fermenters and bioreactors. He has authored several papers and co-authored two encyclopedia chapters. Juergen received his MS degree in mechanical and process engineering from Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany.
