Basic characteristics of Taylor dispersion in a laminar tube flow with wall absorption: Exchange rate, advection velocity, dispersivity, skewness and kurtosis in their full time dependance

Taylor dispersion with wall absorption in a laminar tube flow is analytically studied in this work by Aris's method of concentration moments. The difficulty associated with the conventional approach initiated by Sankarasubramanian and Gill is completely avoided. All the basic characteristic properties governing the dispersion process, including the exchange rate, advection velocity, dispersivity, skewness and kurtosis, are analytically determined in their full time dependance for the first time. Detailed parametrical analysis is performed for the properties. Mean concentration distribution is concretely characterized.
