Notes:
A Numerical study, based on the theoretical developments of Part I of this series, has demonstrated that the chemical activity of a solute can have a significant effect on the convective dispersion behavior of multiphase reactors, and that the dispersion parameters estimated using inert tracers for the individual phases may not be representative of the parameters that should be used in the design of reactive systems. Moreover, the use of different transverse averaging procedures for the individual phases can give rise to additional interaction effects between the phases which are not accounted for in the traditional axial dispersion models. The predicted differences in dispersion parameter values depending on whether the solute is inert or not, are in qualitative agreement with published experimental results.
