Flow with axial dispersion through a one-region pipe of uniform cross-section.

Description

BTEX10 diagram

   The partial differential equation models flow into, through and out of 
 a pipe with plug flow and axial dispersion (diffusion) along the x-axis
 and instantaneous radial dispersion so that concentration is uniform across
 the cross-section at each x-position. Consumption,Gp, equivalent to loss by 
 a first order reaction or loss by permeation is a uniform fraction per
 unit time along the pipe. (This can be modified by making G a function of
 concentration, Gp(Cp) or of position, Gp(x).) Flow is constant, as are all
 the other parameters.The boundary conditions are 
   (1) At the inflow, the diffusion coefficient, Dp, cm^2/s, times the
 spatial gradient in concentration, dC/dx, balances the difference between
 the inflow concentration and the concentration Cp just inside; 
   (2) At the outflow, the gradient dC/dx is set to zero, as if reflecting
 from an impermeable surface, so that mass is lost into the outflow only
 by flow, Cout = Cp(x=L,t).

 LIMITATIONS: This model cannot approximate Newtonian parabolic flow, where
 the response to a flow-proportiaonal cross-sectional pulse labeling at the
 inflow would give a sharp upstroke and peak at 1/2 the mean transit time
 and then, in the absence of axial dispersion, diminish in proportion to
 1/t^2. See Gonzalez-Fernandez (1962) on this point.
