Water is drawn from a lake, flows through a pump and passes down a long pipe in turbulent flow. A slug of tracer (not an ideal pulse input) enters the intake line at the lake, and is recorded downstream at two locations in the pipe L meters apart. The mean residence time of fluid between recording points is 100 sec, and variance of the two recorded signals is= 800 sec 2 = 900 sec IN

What would be the spread of an ideal pulse response for a section of this pipe, free from end effects and of length L/5?

= 800 sec 2 = 900 sec IN
