A pore network model for calculating pressure drop in packed beds of arbitrary-shaped particles

A pore network model is built to predict pressure drop in packed beds of arbitrary-shaped particles, using a method that consists of particle packing by the rigid body technique, pore network construction by the maximal sphere algorithm, and numerical calculation of fluid flow. The pore network model is firstly validated by comparing with experiments, Ergun-type equations, and particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The pore network model is as accurate as the particle-resolved CFD, and is remarkably two to three orders of magnitude less computationally intensive. Then, the pore network model is used to calculate the pressure drops in the beds packed with particles of different shapes and sizes, as well as using different flow media. These calculation results prove the versatility of the pore network model. This work provides an accurate yet efficient pore network model for predicting pressure drop, which should be a powerful tool for designing packed beds.     

Slow non-newtonian flow through packed beds: Effect of zero shear viscosity

The slow non-Newtonian (inelastic) flow through packed beds of mono-size spherical particles has been simulated by solving the equations of motion numerically. The inter-particle interactions have been modelled by using a simple cell model. Theoretical estimates of pressure, friction and total drag coefficients as function of the pertinent physical (l≥n≥ 0.2; 0.3 ≤ e ≤ 0.5) and kinematic parameters (0.01 ≤ '≤ 100) for a fixed value of Reynolds number {Re = 0.001) have been obtained. The theoretical predictions reported herein have been validated using the suitable experimental results available in the literature, and the importance of including the zero shear viscosity in analyses for the creeping flow problems is convincingly demonstrated.     

A simplified correlation for fixed bed pressure drop

An experimental study was conducted on the pressure drop characteristics of a variety of vertical packed beds in turbulent flow of air. The materials of different particle diameter, D_p, with a range of sphericity Φ, 0.55 ≤ Φ ≤ 1.00 were used in random loose packing to produce beds of different lengths, L, with a range of porosity, ε, 0.36 ≤ ε ≤ 0.56. In the covered test cases the cross-sectional velocity distribution at the exit plane of the packed beds and the pressure drop ΔP_Bed were measured in a particle Reynolds number range of Re_p, 675 ≤ Re_p ≤ 7772. The particular emphasis of the study was given to determine the influence of ε, Φ, D_p, L, Re_p on ΔP_Bed. In this respect the measurements of ΔP_Bed were compared with the well-known Ergun's Equation and the data were expressed in terms of correlations through introduced dimensionless parameters of pressure coefficient, ΔP^? and exit Reynolds number Re_exit. The proposed correlations of ΔP^? = ΔP^?(εRe_pD_p / L) and Re_exit = Re_exit(Re_pD_p / L) are found to be appropriate for the determination of ΔP_Bed and mean exit velocity, U, respectively with an acceptable fit of experimental data in an error margin less than ± 20%. The methodology is presented in this paper as an alternative approach to the available literature on packed beds.     

Wall effects for the pressure drop in fixed beds

A very simple model is presented for the effect of the container wall on the pressure drop in a fluid flowing through a bed of spheres. It is based on the application of the Ergun equation to the bulk region of the bed, unaffected by the wall. Pressure loss predictions are found to correspond well to the opposing trends reported in the literature for the viscous- and inertial-flow regimes.

A strategy for tailored design of efficient and low‐pressure drop packed column chromatography

Packed chromatographic column, with higher efficiency and lower pressure drop is designed by using inert core adsorbents as stationary phase. The analytical solutions for moments and height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) are given under the conditions of linear adsorption kinetics by taking into account of the axial dispersion, film mass‐transfer resistance, intraparticle diffusion resistance, and the sorption rate for chromatographic column packed with inert core adsorbents. By minimizing HETP, a nonlinear algebraic equation was derived to predict the optimized value of the inert core radius. For a given adsorbent with the optimized inert core radius, a strategy was presented to tailor the design of new packed chromatographic column with higher efficiency and lower pressure drop. As an example for supercritical carbon dioxide chromatography, reduced equations in terms of dimensionless inert core radius were derived by “order of magnitude” analysis. The quantitative analysis shows that the major benefit of the inert core adsorbent is a shorter diffusion path compared to conventional fully porous particles. The shorter diffusion path reduces dispersion of solutes and minimizes peak broadening leading to lower pressure drop while maintaining high‐separation efficiency. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010     

Investigation of pressure drop in a cocurrent downflow three-phase moving bed

Based on a self-established cold-flow experimental device, the pressure drop in a cocurrent downflow three-phase moving bed was investigated under a wide range of gas, liquid, and solid flow rates during dynamic and steady-state operation. The results showed that for the startup of the bed, since the first bed layer packed by fall-falling of particles had lower voidage, it would take at least one bed volume time to make the voidage in the bed reach the steady-state. Under steady-state conditions, the pressure drop increased with the increase of gas and liquid mass flow rates, liquid viscosity, and decreased with the increase of solid flow rate. Furthermore, it was found that the liquid distribution became more uniform due to particle movement. The experimental data obtained in this study was used to develop a correlation to predict the pressure drop in a three-phase moving bed with an average relative error of 9.32%.     

A general model for pressure drop prediction across a rotating packed bed

Although rotating beds show promise for intensified separations, the fundamentals of their hydrodynamics are still poorly understood. In many operating conditions, pressure drop in an irrigated bed can be considerably lower than that across a dry bed. Previously published correlations don’t provide good prediction of these phenomena. In this research, a semi-empirical correlation is developed to predict the pressure drop across the rotating packed beds. The results show the agreement of predicted pressure drop with the experimental data is acceptable. This model can also predict the pressure drop unexpected phenomena of higher pressure drop in dry beds than in wet beds.     

Water electrolysis and pressure drop behaviour in a three-dimensional electrode

Water electrolysis from acidified solution was used as a model system to investigate the net contribution of hydrogen bubbles to the pressure drop increase in a three-dimensional electrode. A bed of silvered glass beads in both fixed and fluidized state was used, assuming an unchanging particle surface during the experiments. Pressure drop behaviour with time was measured for different experimental conditions and presented relative to the pressure drop determined for a bubble free bed. Parameters, such as current density, electrolyte velocity and particle size, greatly influence the relative pressure drop behaviour in the three-dimensional electrode. A sudden increase in the pressure drop occurs with the appearance of a gas phase in the bed, reaching a constant value (plateau) after a certain time; this plateau corresponds to steady state conditions. The pressure drop increases with increasing current density. This increase is in the range 40-150% relative to the bubble free electrolyte flow through the bed. Electrolyte flow-rate also strongly influences the pressure drop in the hydrogen evolving fixed bed electrode. It was observed that the relative pressure drop decreases with increasing electrolyte velocity. At higher flow rates, peaks occur on the pressure drop-time curves, indicating the existence of channeling inside the bed in which spouting occurs. The time to reach the pressure drop plateau decreases with increasing electrolyte velocity as do the time intervals corresponding to maximum pressure drop values. At the minimum fluidization velocity the peaks disappear and the relative pressure drop decreases with time, tending to approach a constant value. For hydrogen evolution in the fluidized bed, the pressure drop is lower than that measured in the absence of gas, and reason for this decrease being the gas hold-up in the bed.     

Comparative study of dry pressure drop and flow behaviour of gas flow through sieve plate packing

Sieve plate packing is a newly developed packing that has been used in several industries due to its simple structure and operating flexibility, and no liquid flooding. In this work, first, systematic experiments were conducted to measure the pressure drop of gas flow through six sieve plate packings. The results indicated that the geometric characteristics of the packing have complicated effects on the pressure drops. Based on this, CFD simulations on the gas flow field were conducted using the realizable k-ε model, and flow behaviours such as the pressure drop, pressure nephogram, and velocity distributions within different packings were obtained. The simulation results clearly showed interesting flow patterns, including the contraction and expansion of the gas stream through the sieve hole, the flow separation on the sharp edge of the hole, and the vortexes formed when gas impacts the downstream plate. By comparing the flow patterns and the pressure drop under different packings operating at different conditions, the effects of the geometric characteristics of the packing on the pressure drop could be clearly distinguished from the flow behaviours, so that the variations in pressure drop with various packing structures were clearly indicated. Finally, based on the experimental data and the simulated results, correlations for the prediction of the pressure drops were proposed. This work will provide a useful basis for understanding the flow behaviour of gas and liquid two-phase flow in sieve plate packing.

CFD modeling of pressure drop and drag coefficient in fixed and expanded beds

The aim of this study is computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of the single-phase pressure drop in fixed and expanded beds. A fixed bed with a column to particle diameter ratio (D/d_p) of 5 and having 151 particles arranged in 8 layers was taken as a computational geometrical model. In the case of expanded beds, 0.605 voidage bed consisted of 105 particles and 0.783 voidage bed consisted of 55 particles. Simulations were performed in the creeping, transition and turbulent flow regimes, where Reynolds number (d_pV_Lρ_L/μ_L) was varied from 0.1 to 10,000. The deviations from Ergun's equation due to the wall effects, which are important in D/d_p < 10 beds, were well explained by the CFD simulations. Thus, an increase in the pressure drop was observed due to the wall friction in the creeping flow, whereas, in turbulent regime a decrease in the pressure drop was observed due to the channeling near the wall. Energy balance has been established through the CFD predicted values of energy dissipation rates (viscous as well as turbulent).     

Prediction of two‐phase pressure drop and liquid holdup in co‐current gas–liquid downflow of air–Newtonian systems through packed beds

The dependency of pressure drop and liquid holdup on phase velocities, geometry of the column and packing materials as well as on the physical properties have been analyzed. Our experimental data (825 data points obtained using four liquid systems and three different particles) along with those of the available literature (776 data point from five different sources) were used for the analysis. The applicability and the limitations of the literature correlations were evaluated using the available data. Based on the analysis, new correlations for the estimation of pressure drop and liquid holdup, valid for low and high interaction regimes have been developed using the available data, with a wide range of variables.

Study of the pressure drop of dense phase gas-solid flow through nozzle

Pressure drops are measured on different nozzles of various pipe sizes in dense phase pulverized coal pneumatic conveying. From the experimental results, we conclude that the effect of the gas phase nozzle pressure drop is negligible when comparing with the solid phase pressure drop in the experimental range. The main influence factors contributing to the nozzle pressure drop are gas and solid mass flow rate, solids loading ratio, and the diameters of the nozzle inlet and outlet. A new model was developed to predict the nozzle pressure drop in dense phase pneumatic conveying of pulverized coal based on the Barth's pneumatic conveying theory. The pressure drop predictions from the model are in good agreement with the experimental values. The model quantified the important influence factors of the nozzle pressure drop.
