โฆ Synopsis
A short history is given of the development of interest in residence-time distributions. Attention is concentrated on the role played in this development by Danckwerts' 1953 paper[6]. This defined the residence-time functions in the form now customarily used, and much subsequent development remains based on the approaches laid out in [6], for example, applications to flow through packed beds. Flow in pipes owes much to Taylor[12-141, but Danckwerts' work on the effect of a spread of residence times on the performance of reactors remains basic to this topic.

Previous work has demonstrated that high ethanol productivities can be achieved using yeast or bacterial cells adsorbed onto the surface of ion exchange resin in vertical packed bed bioreactors. The present work quantitatively characterizes the overall degree of backmixing in such reactors at two sc
Equations are presented for the residence time distribution in recycle systems with crossmixing between the forward and recycle streams. The use of the method of moments to obtain the system parameters, the crossflow and recycle rates, is described and the implications of the limits of the model are
