The results of an experimental investigation of the RTD in the low Reynolds number, low Dean number region for helical coils are reported. It is found that, under the conditions of negligible molecular diffusion, for 0.6 < N, < 6 and curvature ratio from 0.0036 to 0.0970 coiling results in an essen

The results of an experimental study of dispersion of solute in helical coils under laminar flow conditions are reported. The ranges of variables covered are 10 < h < 280, lo< NRI < 1600 and 1.5 X 1@ < Ns. < 8.7 x lo'. Under the conditions where the dispersion model holds the data are correlated wit

## Abstract Laminar flow in helically coiled tubes is treated numerically. Fully developed axial and secondary velocities are calculated for both circular and elliptical cross sections. Only closely wrapped helices, that is, helices with modest pitch, are considered. Ten solutions with Deans number
