New stochastic modelling of mixing in process operations

The stochastic phenomena which are always present in the chemical processes may have a great influence on the results and their reliability. In many c ases experiments carried out under similar conditions give quite different results. Previous experiments and theoretical investigations emphasised the importance of stochastic phenomena. A new stochastic model is presented in this paper which takes the stochastic nature of chemical processes into co nsideration. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
