Abstract
To express the degree of mixing in chemical process equipment, a new, generally applicable definition of quality of mixedness is presented by making use of the entropy in information theory.
The newly defined quality of mixedness varies from zero for the complete separate state or "piston flow" to values approaching unity for the final mixing state or the complete mixing state.
The application of the newly defined quality of mixedness is explained with two types of examples.
