The fast reaction asymptote of the coalescence-redispersion model
The coalescence-redispersion (CRD) model is examined in the fast chemistry limit for the single bimolecular reaction A+B-->R and the series parallel reactions A+B-->R;B+R-->S occurring in a plug flow reactor with unmixed feed streams. For the single bimolecular reaction it is shown that in this limit the CRD model is asymptotically equivalent to the 3E fast closure as t -->0. For the series parallel reactions the CRD model predictions tend to be bracketed by the 3E slow and fast closure formulations. Representative results are presented for the variance decay of the individual reactants, and it is seen that even in the fast reaction limit where mixing is controlling, the shape of the feed stream PDFs has negligible influence on the progress of the reaction.
