Numerical Simulation of Counter-Current Flow Field in Double Packing Rotating Packed Bed

Abstract

The rotating packed bed is a new and effective mass transfer equipment. However, because of the complexity fluid flow inside the RPB, the flow experiment are not easy to lead to the deeper understanding on the fluid dynamic in an RPB. To explore the internal flow field distribution of rotating packed bed , the internal flow field in counter-current double packing rotating packed bed was studied. At the same time, the flow field changes in different rotating speed was compared and the liquid distribution between the two layer of packing was performanced.
