Re: dwell-time calculation: axial vs radial

What is also not taken into consideration is the gas will travel at different speeds in different parts of the scrubber, for instance gas will travel faster (less dwell time) on the edges where the granules meet the smooth face of the cannister. I think this is less likely in a radial can which may contribute to the supposed better performance of the radial scrubber, at least in terms of duration.
