✦ Synopsis

A general technique for treating industrial chemical reactor mixing problems is presented. This technique involves mathematical analysis to predict reactor pe.rfonnance in terms of the parameters of a realistic flow model. The variables of the system model are then coupled with the parameters of agitator design and operation through a simulation vessel mixing study. In this way, reactor performance can be expressed in terms of agitator design. The application of this approach to the solution of an industrial chemical reactor design problem is discussed.
