ABSTRACT
In the industry, the mixing process is important, because many of the chemical
processes that require this process, such as in the manufacture of oil, the mixing
process in the polymeric material and so on. The purpose of the experiment is to
observe the fluid mixing equipment various flow patterns that can be obtained
through the use of different impeller and fitted with baffle or without baffle, observe
the effect of impeller type and baffle to the speed dispersion of solids in the fluid and
observe the effect of impeller type and seal against fluid mixing effectiveness are not
mutually dissolved. The materials used in this experiment are water (H2O), dyes, and
sand. Equipment such as equipment used mixer, glass beaker, propeller, turbine,
paddle and set of baffle. The experimental results obtained for the experimental flow
pattern is for tanks without baffle obtained axial flow direction and the formation of
vortex, whereas for baffled tanks, produce a pattern of axial flow propeller, and
turbine and paddle produced a radial flow pattern: for dispersion of solids into liquids
most rapidly acquired a mixing turbine and need a long time at the propeller.
