"Canonical example"[edit]

It may be canonical, but it's not a very good example -- a Cuba libre has three ingredients! Without the lime, it's just a rum and Coke. :-) 68.122.35.182 (talk) 01:55, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mixing of substances[edit]

The article contains a short section Physical mixing that begins "The mixing of gases or liquids is a complex physical process, governed by a convective diffusion equation that may involve non-Fickian diffusion as in spinodal decomposition." If the scope of this article includes the mixing of physical substance, should: (1) the title indicate the relevance to the chemical, biological, earth and atmospheric sciences, (2) the content begin with some mention (and references to) the practical aspects of mixing (a MAJOR concern, e.g. in the chemistry lab) before going into the theoretical aspects? And is mention of a 1968 monograph on one aspect of the topic, adequate referencing to current mainstream coverage that begins with terminology that is known more widely to a majority of working scientists?

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance[edit]

A process called "mixing" occurs in EVERY laboratory experiment that uses nuclear magnetic resonance and in every medical procedure that uses magnetic resonance imaging. Should this be mentioned? Michael P. Barnett (talk) 18:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
