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.

Numerical and experimental studies of mixing characteristics in a T-junction microchannel using residence-time distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the mixing behavior in laminar flow in microchannels is investigated using numerical and experimental approaches using the concept of residence-time distribution (RTD) to indirectly characterize flow and mixing in a T-junction microchannel chosen as a model microchannel mixer/reactor.

Heat transfer in packed beds with fluid flow: remarks on the meaning and the calculation of a heat transfer coefficient at the wall

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for small values of the molecular Peclet number no resistance at the rigid wall exists, and that the effect of lateral maldistribution of fluid velocity and/or thermal conductivity, of axial dispersion of heat, and of small, systematic errors in measurement is investigated.

Time-dependent material flow analysis of iron and steel in the UK: Part 2. Scrap generation and recycling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the use of iron and steel in the UK and explore how much of the steel is recycled when it becomes obsolete after use, using the theory of residence time distributions used routinely in chemical reaction engineering.

Carbon nanotube reactor: Ferrocene decomposition, iron particle growth, nanotube aggregation and scale-up

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model for iron particle formation and growth within a chemical reactor, which was used to study carbon nanotube (CNT) formation, was described.

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.
