β¦ Synopsis
A general equation IS denved for the dispersion coeflictent in a packed bed under condltlons of non-umform, one dlmenslonal flow Predlctlons of the theory are analyzed for the simple case of two conccntrx annular regions m a cylmdncal packed bed with dlffercnt void fractions Small differences m void fraction can lead to slgmficant changes m the dlsperslon coeffinent for the packed bed, both m lammar and turbulent flow reames The radial variations of the average residence time and spread of a pulse of nonreactive tracer are investigated

Step-function injection and purging of a dilute salt tracer in water was used to measure axial dispersion for low Reynolds number liquid flow through beds of uniform sized, random packed glass spheres. The resultant data and those of several previous studies are coordinated and interpreted in terms
