41. 1976, To quote Vrentas and Vrentas (Ref.), Chatwin noted that the interaction between axial diffusion and convection dominates the dispersion process at very short times, but, as time increases, the interaction between radial diffusion and convection is the dominant mechanism in the mass transfer process. Hence it seems reasonable to derive a short-time asymptotic solution for C (cfr. the solute concentration) by neglecting the radial diffusion term.

55. We remark that throughout this article we consider inlet conditions of the form Eq. that are impulsive in time. We discriminate between uniform and spatially impulsive inlet conditions, in the case the inlet concentration profile is a constant (uniform) function of the cross-sectional coordinates, or it is localized at some specific point of the inlet section (spatially impulsive), and this is mathematically described by Diracs delta distribution.
