Physical Processing illustrates the physical degree of uniformity in mixing.  This degree of uniformity can often be seen with the naked eye or be measured by a physical technique.  This is why it is described as a macro level process. 

Click on any of the buttons in this table to get some examples of processes that are affected by mixing on the macro level.

Other Examples:  Aeration, low and high viscosity mixing, fluid shear, shear rate, velocity gradient, velocity profile, shear stress, turbulence, uniform suspension, blend time, flow, head, shear, swirling, flooding, fillets, filleting, solids uniformity, flow-controlled operations, circulation pattern, physical contacting, pumping capacity, flow number, power number, head number, impeller flow rates, primary flow, top-to-bottom motion, minimum fluid motion, turbulence regimes, laminar, transitional, turbulent flow, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow, pseudoplastic fluids, process viscosity, close-clearance mixing, temperature uniformity, terminal settling velocity of the particles, hindered settling solids, degree of suspension, complete on-bottom motion, complete off-bottom motion, complete uniformity, solids distribution, geysering, gas hold-up, degree of dispersion, minimum gas dispersion, k-factor, sparging, power consumption, surface aeration.

Processes:  Flue gas desulfurization, petroleum crude oil storage tanks, solids wet out, paint industry, pigments, resins, polymers, polymerization, phosphoric acid attack tanks, solvent extraction, mineral bio-leaching and bio-oxidation, BIOX, agitated leaching, flotation, waste water, mud mixing, draft-tube aerators, mammalian cell cultures, media preparation, Terephthalic acid oxidizers, precipitation, rubber dissolving, food processing.
