Abstract The nature of turbulence and mixing in a reactor used by Toor for kinetic studies was investigated in detail. Simple empirical methods were useful for estimating the decay of the scalar fluctuations. An equation, based on continuity, was used with measured velocities and an improved procedure at the inlet to calculate results that agree well with the kinetic data.
