Abstract
Longitudinal dispersion of the continuous phase was studied in spray extrac tors operated in the loose, close, and turbulized drop packing modes. The P eclet number was found to depend on the Reynolds number modified to take in to account the hydrodynamic conditions in the working zone of the column. W hen the continuous phase is pulsed, the Peclet number is also governed by t he modified Reynolds number, which accounts for the effect of pulsation on the longitudinal dispersion.
