Sir Geoffrey Taylor has recently discussed the dispersion of a solute under the simultaneous action of molecular diffusion and variation of the velocity of the solvent. A new basis for his analysis is presented here which removes the restrictions imposed on some of the parameters at the expense of describing the distribution of solute in terms of its moments in the direction of flow. It is shown that the rate of growth of the variance is proportional to the sum of the molecular diffusion coefficient,D, and the Taylor diffusion coefficientKa2U2/D, whereUis the mean velocity andais a dimension characteristic of the cross-section of the tube. An expression forkis given in the most general case, and it is shown that a finite distribution of solute tends to become normally distributed.
