Abstract:Understanding and analyzing heterogeneous reactions in packed bed
reactors is important in many applications. Here we present a
computational model to investigate the impact of surface texturing on
enzyme immobilizing scaffolds in a packed bed environment. It was
hypothesized that the implementation of surface texturing would increase
the overall reactive surface area of the bed and thus improve reactor
efficiency. The model utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to
solve the transport, multi-component fl… Show more
