The DISMT (Dual Indicator System for Mixing Time) mixing time/distance diagnostic encodes semi-quantitative visualization of liquid/liquid mixing processes in color changes. In DISMT, two liquids, one red and one blue, are mixed to produce a yellow liquid. Through appropriate choice of the acid-base indicators used, and the initial pH’s of the two solutions, the yellow liquid appears only in those regions where the mixing fraction is within a designated fractional deviation (say 5%) of the infinite time mixing fraction.
