Abstract
Effects of mixing on the rate of second-order chemical reactions have been studied by measuring the time-average degree of conversion at enough points in a steady-state, continuous-flow stirred reactor to provide comparisons with numerical simulations of the same reactions using a standard Reynolds-averaged turbulence simulation code with an added closure. The reactants were introduced in widely separated feed streams in order to provide a difficult test for the measurements and simulations. Concentration and segregation measurements were made with two fluorescence based methods - one remote and one using a fiber optic probe. The rates of mixing and reaction were simulated using the Corrsin mixing term and the Spalding segregation production term with the Paired-Interaction reaction closure term.
