The primary aim of using jet as mixer, like in case of other mixing devices, is to increase the heat and mass transfer between the phases. Beside the injection position the geometry of the jet mixer and the injection nozzle has a major effect on the injection. In our study COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to carry out the experimental and simulation of the different jet geometries. The jet mixer was placed in a tube which was used to homogenize the chemical components in a very short reaction zone. The mixing must be completed by the end of the reaction zone to avoid side reactions in the investigated case study.
