✦ Synopsis

An analysis is presented of the effect of the initial concentration ratio of the reactants upon the conversion limits corresponding to the micro and macrofluid behavior of second-order reactions treated in a CSTR. Analytical expressions for the conversion limits involve only two parameters /.I = C.&Z,, and K = kCA, T. Thus, numerical calculations and graphical representation are easily achieved. Results show a maximum conversion difference of 7 per cent when p and K respectively assume values of one and 16. The difference diminishes with B in all other cases.

A reactor model which assumes parallel processing of micro and macrofluid is suggested to achieve measurement of the level of segregation.
