Deviation from plug flow behavior is ____________(a) Linear dipersion(b) Axial dispersion(c) Circular dispersion(d) Non-dispersionThe question was asked during an interview for a job.This intriguing question comes from Sterilisation topic in section Reactor Engineering of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) Axial dispersion

Explanation: Deviation from plug-flow behaviour is characterised by the degree of axial dispersion in the system, i.e. the degree to which MIXING occurs along the length or AXIS of the pipe. Axial dispersion is a CRITICAL factor affecting design of continuous sterilisers.
