What Factors Affect Homogeneous Mixing in Catalysis?
Several factors can influence the effectiveness of mixing in catalytic processes:
Viscosity of the reaction medium - Higher viscosity can hinder mixing. Reactor Design - The shape and size of the reactor can impact mixing efficiency. Agitation Speed - Faster stirring or shaking generally improves mixing. Temperature - Higher temperatures can reduce viscosity and enhance mixing. Presence of Baffles - These can disrupt flow patterns and improve mixing.
