Axial Dispersion Large Peclet

Axial Dispersion high peclet number assumption.

class rtdpy.ad_hi_peclet.AD_hi_peclet(tau, peclet, dt, time_end)

Bases: rtdpy.rtd.RTD

Create Axial Dispersion with small amount of Dispersion (Pe>100) Residence Time Distribution (RTD) model. [1]

\[E(t) = \frac{\sqrt{Pe}}{2\tau\sqrt{\pi}} \text{exp}\left[-\frac{Pe \left(1-t/\tau\right)^2} {4}\right]\]

Parameters

tauscalar

L/U. Mean residence time. tau>0

pecletscalar

Reactor Peclet number (L*U/D). peclet>0

dtscalar

Time step for RTD. dt>0

time_endscalar

End time for RTD. time_end>0
