Hydrodynamics of two‐phase cocurrent downflow through packed beds. Part I. Macroscopic model

Abstract: cocurrent gas-liquid downflow through packed beds. A macroscopic model based on momentum balance is formulated for the condition of no radial pressure gradients. The model includes the effect of bubble formation on the pressure drop and holdup and is compared with the experimental data of the earlier investigators and of the present study. The model provides a functional form for correlating pressure drop and liquid saturation but some parameters have to be determined by fitting the experimental data. SCOPESev… Show more

“…It may be noted that Midoux et al [6] did not consider the specific surface area as variable in correlating their data. Likewise, the experimental data of the present study when compared with the correlation due to Rao et al [7] (Fig. 6) shows that the equation due to Rao et al [7] predicts higher liquid saturation than the experiment for Raschig rings.…”

“…These studies can be classified either as sparger type (Rao et al, 1983;Kulkarni and Shah, 1984;Ohkawa et al, 1985), or as plunging jet type systems (Burgess et al, 1972;Van de Sande and Smith, 1976). In recent years, researchers have been attracted to a system which simultaneously gives the effect of a plunging jet as well as a sparged type system.…”
