A rigorous mathematical basis is given for the fact that the extent of reaction in single-phase continuous flow systems with first-order reactions can be computed from the residence time distribution function and the kinetic data obtained in batch experiments, by applying the equations of continuity presented by Damkohler.
In heterogeneous systems, such simple relations do not exist. When, however, the matrix which consists of reaction rate constants is a triangular matrix, we can compute the extent of reaction, though it is necessary to know the impulse response at an arbitrary point (ξ, η, ζ) when the impulse is injected to an arbitrary point (ξ''η''ζ'').
