The reaction consists of a reversible component due to phase exchange between the flowing fluid and the wall layer, and an irreversible component due to absorption into the wall. The short-time dispersion characteristics are numerically investigated, incorporating the coupling effects between the flow oscillation, sorption kinetics, and retardation due to phase partitioning. The effects of various dimensionless parameters e.g., Da （the Damkoehler number）, α （phase partitioning number）, F （dimensionless absorption number）, and δ （dimensionless Stokes boundary layer number） on dispersion are discussed. In particular, it is found that there exist trinal peaks of the breakthrough curves in some cases.展开更多

The reaction consists of a reversible component due to phase exchange between the flowing fluid and the wall layer, and an irreversible component due to absorption into the wall. To understand the dispersion, the governing equations along with the reactive boundary conditions are solved numerically using the Finite Difference Method. The resultant equation shows how the dispersion coefficient is influenced by the first-order chemical reaction. The effects of various dimensionless parameters e.g. Da （the Damkohler number）, a （phase partitioning number） and F （dimensionless absorption number） on dispersion are discussed. One of the results exposes that the dispersion coefficient may approach its steady-state limit in a short time at a high value of Damkohler number （say Da 〉 10） and a small but nonzero value of absorption rate （say P 〈0.5）.展开更多
