We present a study of RTD in the case of small straight channels. RTD measurements in liquid phase were performed by a dye injection and its absorbance measurements with a spectrometer at the inlet and the outlet of the reactor. The method consistency was confirmed by a dye mass balance between inlet and outlet which was satisfied with an error of 5% rel. The RTD in the measured section was characterized by so called e-curve E (t), mean residence time and Peclet number for different flow conditions (Reynold´s numbers). The RTD data for various channel lengths and liquid flow rates were compared.
