THE CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROMIXING USING FAST MULTIPLE REACTIONS

Abstract Micromixing (mixing at the molecular scale) may be characterized by following fast, competitive, consecutive reactions having the following stoichiometry: A + B → R (1) R + B → S (2) provided that reaction mechanism and kinetics are known. This paper includes many results obtained within the last five years, in particular (a) diffusion-reaction equations for a sheared lamina within which (1) and (2) occur, and (b) comparisons of this and other diffusion-reaction models with measured product distributions.
