This lecture covers the residence time distribution (RTD) in microchannels, focusing on axial and radial dispersion effects. It discusses the impact of flow regimes, molecular diffusion, and channel geometry on RTD broadening and narrowing. Examples include Taylor-Aris correlation, Bo-number effects, and maldistribution consequences. The lecture also explores enhancements in RTD through secondary radial flows and turbulent advection, as well as the use of fixed beds and static mixers to control dispersion.
