## Abstract The mixing of a tracer in a reactor composed of two opposed jets perpendicular to a main stream is studied both experimentally and theoretically. For the experimental conditions, the gas flow was in a transitional state between laminar and turbulent due to the interaction of the mixed s

Abstract
Measurements were made of the overβall mixing in a gas phase flow reactor stirred by the entering feed jets. The mixing was studied by following the decrease in exit concentration after sharp cutoff of a radioactive tracer gas krypton β85. The data showed that over the entire range of average residence times investigated, about 0.4 to 16 sec., the reactor behaved as though 85% of its volume was perfectly stirred and the remaining 15% was in piston flow in series with the stirred region. Relocation of the feed jets would probably increase the fraction of volume that is effectively perfectly stirred to about 95%.

## Abstract Semibatch stirred tank reactors with a turbulent flow field are used frequently in the chemical process industry to accomplish mixing tasks. Mixing in a turbulent flow consists of several processes. Descriptions for these processes from literature are used to construct a model to calcul
