P. Strizhak et al., INHOMOGENEITIES OF CSTR ON A MACROSCALE DUE TO SPATIAL DEPENDENCE OF MICROMIXING TIME - THE BZ REACTION, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 102(1), 1998, pp. 188-191
Macroscopic concentration gradients are measured through spatial micro
electrode scans in the most turbulently stirred zone of a CSTR on both
steady states of the bistable Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The conc
entration distribution that exists on the macroscale is shown to arise
indirectly from the spatial dependence of the micromixing time throug
h the coupling of chemical reaction with micromixing.
