Perfect mixing

{{More citations needed|date=June 2025}} '''Perfect mixing''' is a term heavily used in relation to the definition of models that predict the behavior of chemical reactors.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bischoff |first=K.

Perfect mixing assumes that there are no spatial gradients in a given physical envelope, such as:

* concentration (with respect to any chemical species) * temperature * chemical potential * catalytic activity
