Mixing is an important unit operation in many chemical engineering applications. Nowadays, the jet mixing is widely used and going to be replaced with conventional mixers as a result of its simplicity, high performance and low costs. Jet mixing in tanks has been investigated by many researchers. However, no comprehensive literature review exists. In the present review detailed investigation of previous studies which are categorized into two general classes: experimental and simulation based on CFD techniques were stressed. The influence of geometrical and operational parameters is discussed and a general explanation about existing information was presented. In spite of some differences in data from various sources, general conclusions and guidelines for optimum design selection were obtained.
