Intensification of different system mixing process, particularly in non-isothermal conditions, is a critical task for many industries, where local overheating prevention, chemical reaction acceleration or heat and mass transfer coefficient increase are required. In this regard, an experimental study of the mixing process was carried out using the transformer oil as an example. Temperature equalization time in the fluid and the mixer power consumption were used as indicators of the process efficiency. The influence of the mixer type, presence of bafflers in a vessel, and the mixer speed on the fluid mixing intensity revealed the optimal design and process parameters of the mixing units.
