Abstract
A mathematical model for calculating static packed-bed mixers in laminar and turbulent regimes is discussed. The mathematical model is constructed using the theory of mass transfer and turbulent migration of particles when the mass transfer of a finely disperse phase is considered as a kind of diffusion process. Some calculations have been performed and certain dependences of the mixing efficiency on the Reynolds number have been plotted.
