The generalized coalescence/redispersion micromixing model. A multiscale approach

The gCR model is validated by fitting the model to literature data of bimolecular quasi-linear chemical reactions (Miyawaki et al., 1975. J. Chem. Eng. Jpn. 8, 63-68; Takao et al., 1978. J. Chem. Eng. Jpn. 11, 481-486), and of a quasi-linear consecutive-competitive chemical reaction system (Paul and Treybal, 1971. AlChE J. 17, 718-724) in stirred tank reactors. It is pointed out by simulation that in case of non-homogeneous micromixing space of stirred tank reactor different inlets-outlet configurations of mixing experiments produce significantly different concentration responses, and using the gCR model micromixing inhomogeneities can be explored.
