 abstract={This research examines an important aspect of technological processes – the process of mixing diesel fuel and biofuel in a specially designed paddle mixer. The main goal is to optimize and improve the quality of the resulting mixture. The use of the FlowVision CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) program in this study is of great importance and helps to achieve significant results in the study and optimization of the diesel-biofuel mixing process. In the context of many industrial and technological processes, where efficient mixing of liquids plays an important role, turbulent mixing is of great importance. Optimal mixing not only improves the quality of products, but also ensures the unity of complex reactions and also helps to reduce the time of completion of the process. It is important to emphasize that the research focuses not only on the quantitative aspects of mixing but also on the study of the influence of the geometry of the mixer on the turbulent characteristics of the flow. This can lead to the development of new mixer designs aimed at maximizing the efficiency of the fuel mixing process, which, in turn, will help save resources and reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. This research opens up prospects for further developments in the field of fuel blending technologies, which can lead to real improvements in production and sustainability. The discovery of new methods of optimal mixing of liquids in specially designed mixers can determine the future of energy efficiency and reduce the negative impact on the environment.},
