Pertinent Criteria for Describing the Dissolution of Gypsum Beds in Flowing Water

Abstract
The equation for convective‐dispersive solute transport in porous beds and the continuity equation were used to derive a relationship describing the dissolution of gypsum beds in flowing water. The parameters involved in the derived relationship were: bed length, solution flow velocity, dispersion coefficient, mass transfer rate coefficient, and gypsum fragment size. The proposed relationship was compared with previously published data and shown to be valid. A potential practical field application of the procedure is presented.
