The mechanism of mixing and mixing energy for oil and gas wells cement slurries: A literature review and benchmarking of the findings

This study shows that there is currently a big gap in the oil and gas literature on the mechanism of mixing. Additionally, some factors such as measuring power consumption, Reynolds number while mixing, kinetic energy, heat dissipation, and effects of the shape of the mixer are totally ignored in preparation of oil and gas cement slurry, whereas they are widely used in mixing non-Newtonian fluid systems in chemical engineering processes and the concrete industry.
