Abstract: | The effect of the radial nonuniformity of the linear flow velocity on the radial nonuniformity of the adsorbate concentration distribution over the cross section of a column and on the longitudinal dispersion is estimated for the diffusion model, and the legitimacy (for relatively small adsorber radii) of using a one-dimensional diffusion model for describing the interphase mass transfer in cylindrical adsorbers is thereby determined.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 93–101, July–August, 1987. |
