Abstract
Comparison of solute concentrations at the outlet of a model dialyzer with values calculated from the appropriate convective diffusion equation yielded effective diffusion coefficients for mass transfer of sodium chloride in sherared suspensions of 37 to 74 ΞΌ spheres of a copolymer of styreneβdivinylbenzene. Significant mass transfer augmentation was observed over that attributable to molecular diffusion, and the effective diffusivity increased with increasing concentration of suspension but remained relatively constant with respect to shear rate over the experimental range.

## Abstract Numerical Methods were used to solve the differential equation for diffusion of a trace gas into a flowing carrier gas having a parabolic velocity profile in a cylindrical tube. Steady state solutions are given in the form of contour diagrams of constant trace gas concentration.
## Abstract Laminar flow of a suspension of spheres in a gelled fluid through a sudden expansion causes the suspended matter to become organized. Segregation and migration phenomena of mono and biβdisperse suspensions have been highlighted. If different sizes of spheres and bimodal suspensions are
