Abstract
An exact analysis is presented for dispersion of a solute in an Eyring model fluid flowing between two parallel plates under uniform pressure gradient. Using a generalised dispersion model, which is valid for all time after injection of the solute, expressions have been developed for the time-dependent longitudinal dispersion coefficient as well as of the area-mean concentration. It is observed that the dispersion coefficient markedly decreases as the fluid parameterG increases, which is attributable to the gradual flattening of the velocity profile. Consequently the concentration distribution becomes steeper at largerG. It is also established that forG<1, the extent of dispersion is practically same as in the case of Newtonian flow.
