Perfect mixing

Last updated June 25, 2025

Perfect mixing is a term heavily used in relation to the definition of models that predict the behavior of chemical reactors.^[1]^[2]

Perfect mixing assumes that there are no spatial gradients in a given physical envelope, such as:

concentration (with respect to any chemical species)
temperature
chemical potential
catalytic activity
