A Solution Looking for Solutes

The Garbage-Can Career of a Taylor Dispersion Apparatus in a Soil-Water Laboratory

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions follows a Taylor dispersion apparatus for measuring diffusion coefficients in liquids through its first thirty-one months in the School's soil-water laboratory, which received it unrequested. Of 58 measurement requests in the laboratory register, nine began with a problem no tabulated value answered; the rest arrived through a weekly run to keep the coil wet, through users trained on it, or through reports that wanted a method, while tabulated values kept their place in the School's transport models.
