Abstract
Solution has been obtained of the pseudohomogeneous model of heat dispersion in a packed bed under simultaneous radial and axial dispersion of heat using Danckwerts' boundary condition. The obtained solution has been used to evaluate parameters of the model from experimental data based on the least sum of square deviations of the temperature profiles. Maps have been constructed of the joint confidence regions in the parameter domain. The results have shown the method to be suitable for the determination of radial thermal dispersion while suppressing the effects of structural disturbances of the bed near the containing walls.
