Do you in fact know that there will be mixing, or did you guess? I thought so too until I watched a Technology Connections video on electric water heaters.

It mixes much less than you think.

True, I was guessing, but I have always had a gas water heater. The stratification should not come as a surprise as I am familiar with sharp thermoclines in the ocean but I did not make the connection.
