Simultaneous diffusion and homogeneous reaction during the turbulent flow of a power‐law fluid in a tubular reactor has been studied using the correlations for the velocity profile and eddy diffusivity proposed by Krantz and Wasan. The results of the theory indicate that while the cup‐mixing concentration is unaffected by variations in the Reynolds number, the Schmidt number, or the flow behavior index, it is significantly influenced by the reaction parameter and the reaction order.
