Abstract

The paper deals with determination of parameters of a dispersion model used for describing the flow of liquid on a plate with mobile packing in the region of gas velocities up to 1.5 m s-1. The parameters of the model - the diffusion Peclet number and mean residence time of liquid - were determined from the nonideal input impulse of tracer concentration and its response by the method of numerical integration of differential equation with subsequent optimization of parameters. The results of measurements are presented graphically and in the form of criterion equations.
