Abstract
The temporal and spatial characteristics of thermal pulses travelling in conduits of finite wall conductivity are studied using a multiple time scale expansion. Values for the effective dispersion coefficient of these pulses for parabolic laminar flows within both tubes and parallel plate channels are derived and some experimental observations are made to confirm the prediction that the pulses propagate at a sub-mean flow velocity. Several analogues are drawn between the presently reported results and know phenomena in chromatography.
