This document discusses the effect of mixing on reactor performance for homogeneous reaction systems. It introduces two ideal reactor models - the continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and plug flow reactor (PFR) - and equations relating conversion to operating parameters. For complex reactions, reactor performance depends not only on kinetics and flow pattern, but also on characteristic mixing time and scale. Mixing can be described on the macro and micro levels, with macromixing providing residence time distribution and micromixing providing information on fluid aggregation and mixing earliness/lateness.

1. EFFECT OF MIXING ON REACTOR PERFORMANCE FOR
HOMOGENEOUS SYSTEMS - INTRODUCTION
In dealing with homogeneous reaction systems we have seen that basically all problems encountered can be
classified into two broad categories:
I. Reactor design is required for a given reaction system, and "a priori" prediction of reactor
performance is therefore needed.
II. Assessment of performance of existing reactors is asked for, and suggestions for improvement are
solicited.
So far in dealing with these problems we have assumed two limits in mixing pattern (realizing that mixing
and flow patterns affect reactor performance). For systems with continuous flow at steady state they are:
• CSTR - perfectly mixed (on molecular level) tank
• PFR - plug flow reactor (no mixing in direction of flow, piston like flow)
For a single reaction at isothermal conditions, reactor performance is measured by conversion of the
limiting reactant and we know that for each of the ideal reactors it is a function of kinetics, feed
concentrations and thermodynamic limitations i.e
xA = f (Da,
C Bo
C A o
, K) (1)
where
DaDamkohler Number =
characteristic process time
characteristic reaction time
=
P
R
C Bo
C A o
reactant ratio in the feed
K - equilibrium constant
For an n-th order irreversible reaction with constant density, a mass balance on the limiting reactant A
readily yields an explicit relationship for the Damkohler number as a function of conversion, which, for
each of the two ideal flow patterns, takes the following form:
Dan =
xA
(1 xA ) n ; (CSTR) (2a)

[ ] ; n 1
Da1 = ln

1 xA
; n =1
(PFR) (2b)
where
Dan = kCAo

For example, for a first order irreversible reaction the ideal reactors design equations become:
In a CSTR: Da1 =
xA
1 xA
, xA =
Da1
1+ Da1
(3a)
In a PFR: Da1 = ln
1
1 xA
, xA = 1 e

. (3b)
Implicitly, in deriving the above expressions, we have assumed that the feed can be intimately premixed,
down to molecular level, without reaction (i.e the mixing time in generating a homogeneous feed is
extremely short compared to characteristic reaction time and no reaction occurs during that time).
Thus, we realize that besides the characteristic reaction and process time we have to worry about
characteristic mixing time (or mixing intensity which is proportional to its reciprocal) and about the scale of
mixing. Then
Reactor Performance = f (kinetics, flow pattern, mixing intensity and scale) (4)
We can intuitively recognize that the reaction system and its performance are characterized by four
parameters (in a simplistic approach):
p =
V
Q
- characteristic process time
R =
1
kC ao
n 1 - characteristic reaction time
m - characteristic mixing time
l m - characteristic mixing scale
When R m, and l m is small, ideal reactor concepts are useful but even then extremely high
conversion cannot be predicted accurately in real reactors unless we have more information on the flow
pattern and on the distribution of times that various elements of the fluid reside in the vessel. The concept
of Residence Time Distribution (RTD), to be introduced next, is useful here.

When m R reactor performance completely depends on the scale of mixing l m and mixing intensity
(1 / m ). If we can describe mixing in the vessel we can describe reaction progress as well. There is
another way of looking at the concepts of scale and intensity of mixing by describing the degree of
segregation of the fluid and the nature of exchange, or mixing, of all fluid elements that entered together
with their environment comprised of all other fluid elements. The former approach is useful in very fast
reactions, the outcome of which is completely determined by the turbulent field. The second approach is
useful for those reactions the rate of which is comparable or slower to the rate of mixing. Then one can say
that
Reactor Performance =
kinetics, flow pattern , state of aggregation
of the fluid and earliness of mixing
(5)
We can now consider the description of the mixing process by two levels: macromixing and micromixing.
• Macromixing is a global description of mixing yielding the information on how long various
elements of the incoming flow spend in the process vessel.
• Micromixing is a more detailed description of mixing on a microscopic level providing the
information on the scale of aggregation of the fluid and earliness or lateness of mixing, i.e on the
environment that the individual fluid elements experience in the vessel.
