In turbulent flow the equations governing the development of conversion vs. distance are not closed because of the contribution of the concentration fluctuations to the average reaction rate. Toor's hypothesis permits closure from data obtained for mixing without reaction. This paper presents a critical review of the derivation of the hypothesis and discusses its validity.
