Abstract An analysis is made of the agitation mechanism in a spherical reactor which is self‐stirred by means of gas jets; it is made on the double assumption of an internal recycling and of a turbulent free jet. Extrapolation laws have been developed and verified experimentallly by means of the residence time distribution in several reactors of volumes varying between 501 and several cubic centimeters, the passage times varying from 0.6 to 7.5 seconds: the experiments involved several gases and different temperatures.
