A discrete stochastic mixing model for chemical reactor; is presented here. The turbulent flow system has been modeled as a network of ideally mixed compartments with interconnecting flows that are random variables. The model is particularly useful for studying the statistics of RTD and of the output concentration in a chemical reactor. Some computations of confidence intervals of concentration using information about the stochastic nature of flows are presented.
