Turbulent diffusion from a small source located in the center of a 3‐in. pipe was studied. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide were mixed in air, and potassium chloride solution was mixed in water. Eddy diffusion coefficients calculated from the data are correlated by plotting ( E )/(2 aU c ) vs. N Re . Differences from other data in the literature are discussed. The results could not be used for determining the form of the correlation coefficient because of inaccuracies in the measurements for small diffusion times.
