Abstract
In the present work, the ability of extending the measured velocity and tur bulence field to predict the residence time distribution is explored. The m odel predictions have been compared with experimental measurements of resid ence time distribution. The predicted residence time distributions have bee n explained on the basis of the mixing behavior within the stirred reactor. The effect of operating parameters has been studied.
