This is the reaetion system used by Bourne et ai. [3] and Middleton et ai. [4]. The first reaetion is mueh faster than the seeond reaetion Kj = 7,300 m moie see versus Kj = 3.5 m moie see The experimental data published by Middleton et ai. [4] were used to determine tlie model eonstant Two reaetors were studied, a 30-i reaetor equipped with a D/T = 1/2 D-6 impeller and a 600-i reaetor with a D/T = 1/3 D-6 impeller. A small volume of reaetant B was instantaneously added just below the liquid surfaee in a tank otherwise eontaining reaetant A. A and B were added on an equimolar basis. The transport, mixing, and reaetion of the ehemieai speeies were then eaieuiated based on the flow pattern in Figure 10-3. Experimental data were used as impeller boundary eonditions. The produet distribution Xg is then eaieuiated as ... 

Bourne, A.E. and A.V. Green, 1978, Reliability Technology, Wiley, New York. 

Baldyga and Bourne (1999) present a comprehensive overview and comparison of macromixing models available in the literature for use in chemical reaction engineering. 

Experimental data eomparing results at different seales of operation with equations of the type quoted above are given in Ottens and de Jong (1972), Bennett etal. (1973), Garside and Jancic (1979), Bourne and Hungerbuehler (1980), Plop and Mersmann (1989), Synowiee etal. (1993). 

The fundamentals of erystallization and preeipitation are reviewed in the books of e.g. Sohnel and Garside (1992), Mersmann (2001), Mullin (2001) and Myerson (2001), respeetively, whilst Baldyga and Bourne (1999) provide a eomprehensive aeeount of turbulent mixing and eliemieal reaetions.
