Numerical Investigation of Pressure Drop in Single Pellet String Reactors

Abstract: In narrow fixed‐bed reactors the influence of the confining wall on pressure drop cannot be neglected. Here, the pressure drop in single pellet string reactors, a limiting case of fixed‐bed reactors with a cylinder‐to‐particle diameter ratio below 2, is studied using computational fluid dynamics simulations. Deviations to the Ergun, and more specifically Blake‐Kozeny equation are evident though the general trend is met. A geometry‐based weighting factor is introduced to scale the influence of the confining wal… Show more

“…The momentum loss source term is added to the original momentum equation for gas seepage in the gob through porous media, and its momentum loss is divided into viscous loss and inertial loss. Blake‐Kozeny formula 34 is used to describe the permeability, viscous resistance coefficient, and inertial resistance coefficient of the gob. C1=1e, ${C}_{1}=\frac{1}{e},$ C2=DP×n33.5×(1n)2, ${C}_{2}=\frac{{D}_{P}\times {n}^{3}}{3.5\times {(1-n)}^{2}},$where C 1 is the viscous resistance coefficient; C 2 is the inertial resistance coefficient; D P is the average particle diameter; e is the permeability; n is the porosity;…”

“…In two recent publications, Fernengel et al [ 31,32 ] developed and proposed a SPSR design criterion that could be used to assess existing set‐ups or to design new ones, and a modified equivalent diameter used with the Blake‐Kozeny equation to accurately estimate the pressure drop.…”

“…So many applications use packed tubes of low tube-to-particle diameter ratio (N) of less than 10, for which the description of radial heat transfer is a challenging problem. 1 Some applications have very low N < 4, such as single-pellet string beds 2 or small beds used for catalyst testing. 3 A major problem for very low-N fixed beds is mathematical modeling.…”
