β¦ Synopsis
The dispersion model was used to account for the effect of backmixing in the liquid phase on the performance of a bubble column reactor. It was assumed that gas phase moves in the plug flow and gas absorption is accompanied by a fast general order reaction. An analytical solution can be obtained when the liquid phase is assumed to move in plug flow. However, for a general case the relevant differential equations were solved numerically. The effect of pertinent variables is discussed.

## Abstract The effects of reactor backmixing on the outcome of RAFT polymerizations are examined. The kinetic model for the RAFT reaction is based on the first principle of mass balances and the method of moments. Two reactor models were applied for the simulation of backmixing, i.e., a PFTR with
