β¦ Synopsis
Jet reactors are characterized by their compactness, high shear and high interfacial areas per unit volume. Atomization of the liquid feed and/or turbulent gas-liquid mass transfer forms the basis of the Jet reactor technology. A mathematical model of visbreaking of Athabasca bitumen in such a reactor is presented. The model Is based on single phase (bitumen) flow and uses the well known two equation turbulence model. Model predictions are compared with limited experimental data and they agree well.

## 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 a
## 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
