Bodenstein Number with Thermal Diffusivity

The Bodenstein number, a dimensionless number that is often used to describe axial mixing in so-called axial-dispersion models for tubular reactors. It represents the ratio between the convective transport to the transport by axial diffusion.

The Bodenstein number equals the thermal diffusivity divided by the characteristic length and speed.

Formula

QuantityVariable["Bo", "BodensteinNumber"] == QuantityVariable["α", "ThermalDiffusivity"]/(QuantityVariable["l", "Length"]*QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"])

symbol description physical quantity
Bo Bodenstein number "BodensteinNumber"
l characteristic length "Length"
v characteristic speed "Speed"
α thermal diffusivity "ThermalDiffusivity"
