The theory and design of continuous stirred tank reactors are extended to the complex but industrially important field of continuous‐heterogeneous‐reaction systems. The present investigation is concerned with the elementary process occurring when solid particles and a liquid flow into and from a single reactor or a chain of these reactors. The equations are developed for dissolution processes, and the theoretical size distributions and specific areas are confirmed experimentally. Performance is also related to operating conditions and reactor design.
