Abstract

A proposed two-parameter model for partial segregation is analyzed with respect to the determination of the parameters of the model. An iterative scheme for the calculations is readily done for a particular system. An elementary, bimolecular second order reaction was performed in a premixed perfectly mixed continuous stirred lank reactor. The necessary data are obtained for seven values of the initial concentration of reactants, the parameters of the model calculated from one of the runs, and the other experiments (other values of CB0/CA0) used to check the accuracy of the model. The iterative scheme is found fast and accurate, although an alternative method is discussed. The model appears adequate and the values of the parameters are within permissible ranges.
