Hydrodynamics of narrow-tube fixed bed reactors filled with Raschig rings

The local flow structure and pressure drop in random packings of Raschig rings are analyzed using sequential Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) method and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Tube-to-pellet diameter ratios, N, between 3 and 6 are investigated for laminar, transitional and turbulent...
