Importance of micro-mixing properties

Fairly you have to admit that the matter is rather of academic than of practical importance. We mainly need this theoretical background for understanding important methods and aspects e.g. the 'Area-Method'. But we should keep in the mind that reaction engineering effects of segregation can be found with several systems (all sorts of dispersions, - think of suspension or emulsion polymerizations or several biochemical reactions) - here they can play a role for 'fine tuning aspects'.
On the other hand: the 'coarse results' of the application of the 'Area-Method' on 'not segregated' fluids are mostly sufficient for practical necessities.
