Effects of mixing on parallel chemical reactions in a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor
Effects of turbulent mixing on the course of two fast parallel chemical reactions (neutralization of sodium hydroxide and hydrolysis of ethyl chloroacetate) carried out in a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor are experimentally investigated and theoretically interpreted. Mixing effects are modelled using mechanistic models (E-model) and a closure method based on CFD.
