1. Explain how to determine the "G-Factor" or "Mean Velocity Gradient".

2. Discuss the sources of the "G-Factor" or "Mean Velocity Gradient".

3. Application of the obsolete "G-factor" constraint and its unintended consequences.  Why the G-factor should be considered only as a result of a particular mixer design and why it should never be used as a key or primary constraint of a mixer design.
