Baffles may be eliminated for_________________?
Correct answer: B. High viscosity liquids (> 600 poise)
- A. Low viscosity liquids (< 200 poise)
- B. High viscosity liquids (> 600 poise)
- C. Large diameter tanks
- D. None of these
Explanation
Baffles are mainly needed to prevent swirling and improve mixing in low-viscosity liquids. Very high-viscosity liquids already resist swirling strongly, so baffles may be omitted.
