The dispersion produced by a combination of mass movement and molecular diffusion in a cylindrical tube can be represented byIMG1for which Sir Geoffrey Taylor has given solutions. Taylor's work has been extended by computing numerical solutions over a wide range of flow conditions. These have been studied experimentally by monitoring the dispersion of tracer amounts of iodide ion (131I) in 2N KCl.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
