Application of Turbulence Fundamentals to Reactor Modelling and Scaleup

Applications of the fundamentals of turbulent mixing become clear once those fundamentals are understood. The first article in this series presented those fundamentals, in order to show how to apply turbulent mixing fundamentals modelling and scaleup, this article covers the following topics: 1. reaction types and their interaction with mixing; 2. closure of the Reynolds equations for mixing and reactions; 3. application to complex geometries; 4. random coalescence-dispersion modelling; 5. application to complex chemistry. The most difficult problem in applying our knowledge of turbulence to mixer modelling and scaleup is the choice of model complexity. The levels of model complexity available and how to apply them to various problems are presented following the introduction.
