Abstract
A threeβparameter model of axial and radial dispersion in a packed tubular reactor is proposed as an alternative to the Fickian dispersion model. Though it is formulated in terms of differential equations, it requires no exit boundary condition, so it is mathematically more convenient than the Fickian model. Examples of its application to chemical reactors are given.

A sudden reduction in the feed temperature of a packed-bed reactor may lead to a transient temperature rise, referred to as a wrong-way behavior. As expected, the axial dispersion of heat decreases the magnitude of the temperature excursion and prolongs the transient shift to a new steady state. In
## Abstract A model has been developed for the performance of a packed bed encapsulated enzyme reactor which includes all the resistances controlling the rate of reaction plus the effect of axial dispersion of the bulk liquid. The method of solution to the problem is based on the application of the
