The effect of inner geometry of meso-scale OFRs on axial dispersion was studied.
The impact on batch suspension and continuous liquid–solid flows was studied.
The effect of do, α, l and baffle shape was evaluated with a 2 × 2 factorial design.
Continuous liquid–solid flow modelled with plug flow with axial dispersion model.
Smooth-edged constrictions produced sharper solids RTDs.
