Peformance equation relates input to output Input- Output Contacting patter or how Kinetics or how fast things happen. materials flow through and If very fast,then equilibrium tells contact each other in the reactor, what will leave the reactor.If not how early or late they mix,their so fast,then the rate of chemical clumpiness or state of aggregation. reaction,and maybe heat and mass By their very nature some materials transfer too,will determine what will are very clumpy-for instance,solids happen. and noncoalescing liquid droplets.
