A diffusion cell has been developed to measure the effective diEusivity of gases through a porous solid, formed either by compressing powder in situ or separately during the reaction of a gas with solid in the form of a pellet. Based on the experimental observations made with this cell, it has been

β¦ Synopsis
If
reasonably uniformly sized spherical pellets are packed in a tube only slightly larger in size, so that the tube/pellet dia ratio is from 1.1 to 1.4, and the tube contains 50 or more pellets, then the flow behaviour is very similar to that of a conventional packed bed. Pressure drop results and axial dispersion values obtained for non-porous pellets using pulse techniques can be predicted from existing packed bed correlations. Magnetite pellets of different porosities were used as porous packing, also, and, by Fourier analysis of outlet tracer pulse dispersion, external mass transfer and effective diffusion coefficients were obtained, assuming the validity of the Kubin-Kucera model. The use of this 'single pellet string reactor' (SPSR) appears to give a convenient laboratory simulation of a packed bed reactor, which would be particularly useful for larger solid particles such as pelletized ores. It also offers a convenient laboratory method for obtaining aveiage effective diffusion coefficients over a range of temperatures and pressures for a representative sample of large porous particles.

Exothermic heterogeneous noncatalytic reactions of the type solid-solid and solid-gas can be efficiently used to produce new type of materials. The idea of the process is based on the selfpropagating reaction waves in the reactant mixture. Modeling of the process is suggested. comparison of experime
## Abstract The leastβsquares algorithm is known to bias apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values estimated from magnitude MR data, although this effect is commonly assumed to be negligible. In this study the effect of this bias on tumor ADC estimates was evaluated in vivo and was shown to intro
