If Da is diffusivity, CT is tracer concentration, and UT is overall heat transfer coefficient, the pulse tracer balance with dispersion is obtained as
∂^2.C{T}}/∂z^2 – (∂U.C{T})/∂z = ∂C{T}/∂z
D{a}.(∂^2.C{T}}/∂z^2 – (∂U.C{T})/∂z = ∂C{T}/∂z)
D{a}.(∂^2.C{T}}/∂z^2 + (∂U.C{T})/∂z = ∂C{T}/∂z)
∂^2.C{T}}/∂z^2 + (∂U.C{T})/∂z = ∂C{T}/∂z
The species continuity equation for the axial dispersion model is
u.(∂C{A}/∂z) = (∂D{a}/∂z).(∂C{A}/∂z) + (r{A})C
u(∂C{A}/∂z) = (∂D{a}/∂z).(∂C{A}/∂z) + C
∂C{A}/∂z = (∂D{a}/∂z).(∂C{A}/∂z) + (r{A})C
u.(∂C{A}/∂z) = (∂D{a}/∂z).(∂C{A}/∂z) + r{A}
