IN A RECENT letter Klinkenberg [l] discusses the concept of backmixing and in particular refers to our paper [2] on backmixing in countercurrent extraction. By backmixing we mean to imply a backflow against the mainflow so that some parts of a phase actually move backwards relative to a fixed point

## Abstract The effects of reactor backmixing on the outcome of RAFT polymerizations are examined. The kinetic model for the RAFT reaction is based on the first principle of mass balances and the method of moments. Two reactor models were applied for the simulation of backmixing, i.e., a PFTR with
The equations describing solvent extraction equipment with differential backmixing have been applied to distillation columns. The results can be interpreted in terms of this type of backmixing but the existing correlations for the liquid phase Peclet numbers must be increased by a factor of eight.
An investigation is made into the net flow rate and fluid viscosity influence on backmixing in multistage, baffled and unbatlled, mixer columns. Results are correlated with reference to both interstage backflow rate and intrastage backflow rate, the latter being a new fluid-dynamic parameter introd
