Notes:
It has been shown both theoretically and experimentally that the radial Peclet number in a packed bed approaches about 11. If it is assumed that the interstitial volume of the bed forms mixing cells, then a comparison of the solutions obtained from the mixing and turbulent diffusive mechanisms shows that the axial Peclet number for agreement of the two must be about 2, as a limiting case for high Reynolds numbers. This is substantiated by experiment.
