Summary:This study demonstrates the applicability of nonparametric procedures to the analysis of mixing processes. In particular, multivariate nonparametric methods are used to evaluate the properties of a multicomponent solids mixture. Specific problems considered are: 1. test of sampling techniques, 2. test of treatment effects, 3. test of the completely mixed state, and 4. test of a quality standard. The usefulness of the proposed nonparametric techniques is amply demonstrated with both homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures generated by a drum mixer. The techniques presented in this paper are also applicable ot other mixers.
