Use of baffles in agitators help in minimising the ______________ tendency?

Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.

  • A. Swirling
  • B. Vortexing
  • C. Both A. & B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

Baffles interrupt tangential fluid motion in an agitator, thereby reducing both swirling and the formation of a central vortex. They also improve mixing by directing more energy into axial and radial circulation.
