Notes:
The use of tracer dispersion measurements in conjunction with associated pressure drop data, as an indirect diagnostic technique for the determination of particle deposit morphology in deep-bed filters, was investigated. The dispersion measurements consisted of the injection of an electrolyte tracer pulse at the inlet and the monitoring of the tracer peak as it traveled down the bed, while the pressure drop data consisted of the axial pressure gradient histories as deposition took place. These data are interpreted using dispersion and pressure drop theories established on the basis of assumed models of deposit morphology. The validity of this technique was confirmed experimentally.
