TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method to predict the distribution of residence-times in large systems by using distribution-functions for residencetimes, which can be used to calculate the etficiencies of reactors and blenders.

Mass Transfer Characteristics in a Standard Pulsed Sieve-plate Extraction Column

TL;DR: In this article, the axial dispersion model (ADM) coupled with the steady-state concentration profiles was used to calculate the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient Koxa.

Application of the Dispersion Model for Description of the Outflow Dilution Profiles of Noneliminated Reference Indicators in Rat Liver Perfusion Studies

TL;DR: The DM is a reasonable descriptor of dispersion for the early-in-time data and not the late- in- time data, and the existence of a common DN for all non-eliminated reference indicators suggests that intrahepatic dispersion depends only on the geometry of the vasculature rather than the diffusional processes.

Measurement of liquid holdup and axial dispersion in trickle bed reactors using radiotracer technique

TL;DR: In this article, the holdup and axial dispersion of aqueous phase has been measured in trickle bed reactors as a function of liquid and gas flow rates using radioisotope tracer technique.

Experimental mass transfer coefficients in a pilot plant multistage column extractor

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of operating parameters on the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficients has been investigated for both mass transfer directions and the results show that the mass transfer performance is strongly dependent on rotor speed and mass transfer direction, although only slightly dependent on phase flow rates.

The Definition and Measurement of Some Characteristics of Mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important features of such mixtures can be expressed by two statistically defined quantities, the scale and the intensity of segregation, and methods of measuring these are suggested.
