Notes:
Mixing and a rapid, second-order irreversible chemical reaction were studied in a turbulent chemical flow reactor, with a point conductivity probe used to detect changes in concentration. From the mathematical theory of Toor, it is shown experimentally that data on the mixing of a passive scalar additive in a nonreactive system may be used accurately to predict the yield of a rapid, irreversible second-order reaction when the hydrodynamics and initial conditions on mixing for the reactive system are identical to those of the nonreactive system. Increasing the bulk average concentration of one reactant is shown to have a strong effect on the overall reaction yield.
