  2. Residence time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residence_time

    The concept of residence time originated in models of chemical reactors. The first such model was an axial dispersion model by Irving Langmuir in 1908. This received little attention for 45 years; other models were developed such as the plug flow reactor model and the continuous stirred-tank reactor, and the concept of a washout function (representing the response to a sudden change in the ...

  3. Residence time (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residence_time_(statistics)

    This is the smallest time after the initial time t 0 that y(t) is equal to one of the critical values forming the boundary of the interval, assuming y 0 is within the interval. Because y(t) proceeds randomly from its initial value to the boundary, τ(y 0) is itself a random variable. The mean of τ(y 0) is the residence time, [1] [2]

  4. Continuous stirred-tank reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_stirred-tank...

    Residence time is the total amount of time a discrete quantity of reagent spends inside the reactor. For an ideal reactor, the theoretical residence time, , is always equal to the reactor volume divided by the fluid flow rate. [2] See the next section for a more in-depth discussion on the residence time distribution of a CSTR.

    The residence-time algorithm was also published at about the same time. [10] Apparently independent of the work of Young and Elcock, Bortz, Kalos and Lebowitz [1] developed a KMC algorithm for simulating the Ising model, which they called the n-fold way.

  6. Plug flow reactor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_flow_reactor_model

    The residence time distribution function is therefore a Dirac delta function at . A real plug flow reactor has a residence time distribution that is a narrow pulse around the mean residence time distribution. A typical plug flow reactor could be a tube packed with some solid material (frequently a catalyst). Typically these types of reactors ...

  7. Estuarine water circulation - Wikipedia

    Model of Estuary. The residence time of water is a key variable determining the health of an estuary, particularly from human-induced stresses.Rapid flushing ensures that there is insufficient time for sediment accumulation or dissolved oxygen depletion in the estuary; thus a well flushed estuary is intrinsically more robust than a poorly flushed estuary. [1]

  9. Lake retention time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_retention_time

    The lake retention time for a body of water with the volume 2,000 m 3 (71,000 cu ft) and the exit flow of 100 m 3 /h (3,500 cu ft/h) is 20 hours.. Lake retention time (also called the residence time of lake water, or the water age or flushing time) is a calculated quantity expressing the mean time that water (or some dissolved substance) spends in a particular lake.
