β¦ Synopsis
To simulate the dynamics of a chemicaliy reacting system as a Markov chain, the states of the chain need to be properly identified. In the present approach, a molecule is viewed as an "object", "entity" or system. The transformation of the molecule from one species to another is visualized as the transition of this "entity" from one form to another. Furthermore, appropriately selected chemical species or entities in the mixture serve as the states of the chain. The selection of such species is subject to the stoichiometric constraint based on the atomic balance. The approach is illustrated with several chemically

## Abstract A continuousβflow recirculation mode, generally called a recycle mode, is known to be practically meaningless except when the reactant is separated from the product at the reactor exit or when the reaction is autocatalytic, because when simply circulating a small amount of the fluid con
