This model presents a multigeometry approach to study microscale and macroscale mass balances in packed beds and other heterogeneous reactors with bimodal pore distribution.

A typical packed bed is a cylindrical column that is filled with a suitable packing material. You can learn about different types of packing materials from Perry’s Handbook.

to fly and operate the Packed Bed Reactor Experiment (PBRE) on the ISS in early 2016. The PBRE is currently instrumented to obtain critica operating parameters such as pressure drop and flow …

Design of massive adiabatic packed bed reactors Developed by licensors of technologies that use them and involves incorporation of staged adiabatic reactors with inter-stage reactant or inert cold shot …

In this paper, the modeling and simulation of a packed bed reactor has been shown. The variations of pressure drop and conversion with catalyst weight have been studied.

The impact of two different ways of designing the packed bed were inves-tigated, one case with one particle having both the sorbent and the catalyst properties, and a second case with two different …

Fixed beds of cylindrical particles are important in chemical engineering applications, but their packing structures are not as well understood or as well characterized as sphere packings.
