Abstract

A point-stimulus point-response function is defined that allows rigorous expressions to be written for the residence time distribution for a system where there are complicating factors such as inlet concentration profiles and inlet and outlet velocity profiles. This function is capable of being measured directly; the residence time distribution and other response functions may be calculated from it. It is not possible to calculate the residence time distribution from the results of experiments in which tracer is generated and/or measured in situ at locations were there are significant velocity profiles unless further information is available.
