Mixing time measurement has been carried out to understand the agitation of a water bath contained in an inclined cylindrical vessel subjected to bottom gas injection. Particular attention has been paid on the effect of swirl motion on the mixing time. The mixing time increases with an increase in the inclination angle. Accordingly, the vessel inclination is not effective for bath agitation. In addition, the effect of tracer charge method on the mixing time has been investigated.
