Micromixing Effects on Autocatalytic Reactions in a Stirred Tank: The Random Replacement IEM Model

“…The micromixing effects had attracted certain research interests as well. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The most widely employed micromixing models include the coalescence-dispersion (CD) model and the interaction-by-exchange-with-the-mean (IEM) model. The IEM model had attracted a great research interest owing to its simplicity and containing only one adjustable parameter.…”

“…The effects of incomplete macromixing on complex chemical dynamic systems have been investigated by some works. − Zonal models are widely employed in these studies.

Measuring Complexity in Reactor Networks with Cubic Autocatalytic Reactions

“…Many variants of the classical problem of the autothermal system 8,9 have been used to demonstrate how minor changes in the structure of the system lead to increased richness of behavior. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Likewise, autocatalytic systems have been extensively studied for over 2 decades, 6,7,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] but researchers have mostly used a reductionist approach to investigate the properties of the system in isolation. The common theme in these studies was a single autocatalytic species in an isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR).…”

“…The cubic autocatalysis scheme has been introduced to the chemical engineering literature by Gray and Scott , as an alternative paradigm to autothermal reactions that exhibit static and dynamic complexity. Many variants of the classical problem of the autothermal system , have been used to demonstrate how minor changes in the structure of the system lead to increased richness of behavior. − Likewise, autocatalytic systems have been extensively studied for over 2 decades, ,,− but researchers have mostly used a reductionist approach to investigate the properties of the system in isolation.
