Editing Mixing (process engineering) (section)

===Single-phase blending===
Mixing of liquids that are [[miscible]] or at least [[soluble]] in each other occurs frequently in engineering (and in everyday life). An everyday example would be the addition of milk or cream to tea or coffee. Since both liquids are water-based, they dissolve easily in one another. The momentum of the liquid being added is sometimes enough to cause enough [[turbulence]] to mix the two, since the [[viscosity]] of both liquids is relatively low. If necessary, a spoon or paddle could be used to complete the mixing process. Blending in a more viscous liquid, such as [[honey]], requires more mixing [[power (physics)|power]] per unit volume to achieve the same homogeneity in the same amount of time.{{Cn|date=March 2025}}
