Abstract

Problems associated with the formulation of the boundary conditions for diffusion equations describing flow-through chemical-engineering systems from the point of view of stochastic process theory are discussed. An approach to modelling such systems is presented, allowing the one-dimensional diffusion (dispersion) model of a continuous flow mixer, commonly used in chemical engineering, to be reassessed from a rather general point of view.
