Mixing, entropy and reactive solute transport

摘要: [1] Mixing processes significantly affect reactive solute transport in fluids. For example, contaminant degradation environmental aquatic systems can be limited either by the availability of one or more reactants, brought into contact physical mixing, kinetics (bio)chemical transformations. Appropriate metrics are needed to accurately quantify interplay between mixing and processes. The exponential Shannon entropy concentration probability distribution has been proposed applied dilution conservative solutes a given volume (dilution index) water flux (flux-related index). In this work we derive equation for solute. Adopting flux-related framework, show that degree uniformity mass species its rate change informative measures their complex interaction.
