Axial dispersion in a pulsed plate column Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractA technique involving the indicator colour change in an acidbase reaction has been used to measure axial dispersion coefficients in a 15 cm diameter pulsed column. Data have been obtained mainly for single phase (aqueous) flow with two different types of plate at two different spacings. With coarsely perforated plates, the dispersion coefficient is proportional to (amplitude)2 times frequency, but semicircular unperforated baffle plates show a dependence on amplitude times frequency. These results are critically compared with published data, and two types of flow regime for axial dispersion are indicated.
