TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method to predict the distribution of residence-times in large systems by using distribution-functions for residencetimes, which can be used to calculate the etficiencies of reactors and blenders.

Mixing performance comparison of milliscale continuous high-shear mixers

TL;DR: In this article, the cumulative residence time distributions (RTD) were determined experimentally using a step response method, and the mixing effect was determined by measured RTDs by varying impeller speed and feed flow rate.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
