Abstract

A continuous-flow system is fed with a liquid which turns blue a specified time θ after entering. A more or less stationary pattern is thus set up, those parts of the liquid which have spent times longer than θ in the system being blue while the rest is colourless. The value of θ can be changed at will, enabling details of the flow-pattern to be deduced. The interpretation of the finer points of the colour-pattern is made difficult by the effects molecular interdiffusion of different parts of the liquid.
