Mass Transfer Characteristics of Woven-Wire Screen Catalysts

Mass transfer at a rotating tubular packed bed of woven screens in relation to electrochemical and catalytic reactor design

“…The decrease in the mass transfer coefficient with increasing bed thickness is consistent with the results of previous studies on fixed beds of screens in cross flow [21,22], rotating packed bed of screen discs [23] and oscillating packed bed of screens [24].…”

Experimental and theoretical study of gas/solid mass transfer in metallic filters as supports for micro-structured catalysts

“…Eq. (13) closely resembles classical correlations for heat transfer to banks of tubes (Incropera and De Witt, 1996) and for heat transfer in catalytic gauzes (Satterfield and Cortez, 1970). It is also similar to the correlation for gas/solid heat transfer in metallic foams that some of us derived from independent transient cooling experiments (Giani et al, 2005b).…”

Pressure drop and mass transfer in the structured cartridges with fiber-glass catalyst

“…Notably, the observed value of the Reynolds number order (0.93) is significantly higher than that for other conventional types of the packed catalyst beds (0.47-0.85 for granular beds [35], 0.43 for foam catalysts [36], 0.425 for catalytic gauzes [37], 0.45 for honeycombs [38], 0.21-0.5 for wire mesh structures [37,[39][40][41], 0.72 for metal fiber filters [42] etc.). This phenomenon may be explained by flexibility of the GFCs.…”
