A theoretical study has been mode of longitudinal dispersion mechanisms during steady flow of o fluid through unconsolidated spherical beads. The mathematical model utilizes a step function input of thermal energy and presents the solution for the transient behavior of the system. The longitudinal dispersion of the step input is considered the result of eddy mixing of the fluid, molecular conduction within the fluid, and a finite time log for heat transfer to occur between fluid and particle. The latter mechanism is characterized by both a fluid film resistance and on intraparticle resistance. The exact solution, involving on infinite integral,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
