Abstract
The one-dimensional stochastic diffusion model of a continuous flow mixer is proposed incorporating (contrary to commonly used diffusion models) a distribution of velocities of diffusing particles. Simplifying assumptions enabled us to derive an analytical expression for the liquid residence time distribution and concentration profile inside the mixer. For extreme values of parameters, the model becomes identical with the common idealized models usually adopted in chemical engineering.
