Abstract
A radioptracer technique was utilized to measure axial dispersion in both phases in spray towers operated at and near flooding. A new method that exhibits certain advantages over methods employed in the past is presented for reducing such data. It is demonstrated that axial dispersion in flooded and near‐flooded spray towers is sufficiently severe to control completely their performance as heat exchangers.Keywords
