If D is the fluid dispersion coefficient, L is the length of spread of tracer and u is the fluid velocity, thenwhich of the following represents Dispersion number?(a) \(\frac{L}{uD}\)(b) \(\frac{L}{D}\)(c) \(\frac{D}{uL}\)(d) \(\frac{Lu}{D}\)I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I'd like to ask this question from Non Ideal Reactors topic in chapter Compartment Models, Models for Non Ideal Reactors of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

Right OPTION is (c) \(\FRAC{D}{uL}\)

Easiest explanation: DISPERSION number is a dimensionless group characterizing spread in the entire reactor vessel. The value of D determines the spread.
