Abstract

This report presents a study about radioactive particle tracking (RPT) technique in order to evaluate industrial agitators. Nuclear techniques are widely used in industry to solve problems, as they are non-invasive techniques. Studies in progress are been made to identify which algorithm is more adequate to evaluate industrial agitators.
