Mixing & Reaction: Fundamental Characteristic Times and Segregation Intensity

This lecture covers the fundamental characteristic times in chemical/physical phenomena, such as homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, mass transfer, and heat conduction. It also explores the effect of segregation intensity on bimolecular reactions, emphasizing the importance of mixing characterization and its impact on product distribution and selectivity. Various physical and chemical methods for mixing characterization are discussed, including dilution methods, induced color change, and competitive chemical reactions. The lecture highlights the significance of understanding mixing efficiency through experimental and theoretical approaches.
