Moving Mixture

...By repeatedly subjecting the raw materials to such deformations and relative movements (stretching, shearing, division, overlapping, rotation, dispersion, etc.), the components become more finely arranged and more homogeneous. The process of mixing in an actual mixer appears complex at first glance, but it can be considered a compound repeated process of such simple convective mixing. In particular, when the action of convective mixing is carried out continuously by the fine irregular movements of many individual components, it is considered a statistical mixing process and is called diffusive mixing (Figure 2). ...

*Some of the terminology that refers to "moving mixing" is listed below.

…仕込原料にこのような変形･相対移動(伸縮，剪断，分割，重ね合せ，回転，分散配置など)を反復して与えることにより，成分の配置がより細かく，より均質になる。実際の混合装置内での混合の進行過程は一見複雑であるが，このような単純な移動混合convective mixingの複合繰返し過程と考えてよい。とくに，移動混合作用が多数の成分個体の細かい不規則運動によって継続的に行われる場合を，統計的な混合過程とみなして拡散混合diffusive mixingと称する(図2)。…
