mixing control

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.M03946
The experimental limitation of the @[email protected] in solution by the rate of mixing of solutions of the two reactants. It can occur even when the reaction @[email protected] is several powers of 10 less than that for an @[email protected] rate. Analogous (and even more important) effects of the limitation of reaction rates by the speed of mixing are encountered in heterogeneous (solid/liquid, solid/gas, liquid/gas) systems.
