TL;DR: In this article, simple transfer function models of chemical plant can be reduced to simple models using the method of moments, and three parameters of the simple model are obtained by matching the first three moments of the impulse response of the complex and simple models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a revised version of a multiloop circulation model first proposed by van de Vusse was shown to fit experimental residence time distribution data obtained for a 100 l. stirred vessel.

TL;DR: In this article, a transfer function characterising flow-mixing in recycle systems is presented in a way that generalises many published forms; the second central moment and impulse response of the general expression are derived.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to treat the process in matrix terms and remove the need for the nodes to have identical characteristics. But they do not address the problem of uniform linear dynamic mixing at the nodes.
