Abstract:An in-depth numerical study has been carried out to investigate a high-pressure commercial scale (2-8 meter diameter) slurry bubble column reactor (SBCR). Typical superficial gas velocities are in the range of 0.5-3 m/s, and overall vapor hold-ups are in the range of 0.45-0.85. The study revealed that steady compartmental reaction models do not match plant data when reaction time constants are very fast. Also, off-the-shelf commercial CFD codes do not produce useful information about a reactive column of this … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
