Abstract
The mass exchange type micromixing model in a flow system is extended to batch mixing rate process accompanying a second-order reaction between miscible reactive fluids A and B. The performance of batch mixing rate process accompanied by reaction and the dimensionless parameter q=krCb0/km are obtained from theoretical analysis of the model. When the value of q becomes less than about 0.1, the mixing effect is negligible on the course of reaction. Through analysis of the mixing characteristics of the model, the mass exchange coefficient km can be correlated with mixing time as follows. km=ln(l/δ)/t(δ)M:δ=1-F=√IS¥=ΔC/ΔC0Theoretical studies mentioned above are confirmed through experimental studies of the alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl chloroacetate, for which the reaction rate is comparable to the rate of mixing and the infinitely rapid reaction of ammonium hydroxide and acetic acid. The experimental values of km determined in each experiment show that macromixing due to circulation of the fluid element has a dominant effect on the course of reaction in the experimental condition of 300 < Re < 5000.
