Baffles in mixing tanks are provided to__________________?
Correct answer: A. Reduce swirling and vortex formation
- A. Reduce swirling and vortex formation
- B. Increase the structural strength of the tank
- C. Aid in rotational flow
- D. None of these
Explanation
Baffles interrupt tangential fluid motion in a mixing tank, preventing excessive swirling and vortex formation. This redirects energy into useful mixing rather than merely causing the liquid to rotate as a whole.
