Abstract: Although short-circuiting is broadly recognized as an important phenomenon in reactor designs, it is very difficult to compare the degree of short-circuiting among different reactor types from the hydraulic indexes in reality. Identification of reactor type was essential and necessary to solve the difficulty of comparison; we adapted a differentiation method to identify the reactor type to make the comparison achievable. Therefore, this study was to develop a simple and practical method of short-circuiting comparison, called the “distance method” and the method was examined through 13 available short-circuiting indexes. The results showed that all the indexes could correctly subscribe and successfully compare the degree of short-circuiting. We hope this whole process setup could further help us to know all the reactors better and to make the comparison in reality possible. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012
