A general model for convection-dispersion-dynamic adsorption in porous media with stagnant volume

A convection-dispersion model that encompasses first-order reversible kinetic adsorption as well as dead-end pore volume is presented. These phenomena, which characterize the flow of miscible fluids through porous media are described by a set of four differential equations. The system of equations h...
