Thermal Behavior of a Catalytic Packed-Bed Milli-reactor Operated under Radio Frequency Heating

Behavior of Packed Bed Thermal Storage

A packed bed thermal storage has several desirable characteristics to be used for energy storage. The behavior of packed bed is predicted by set of differential equations. A numerical solution is developed for packed bed storage tank accounting to the secondary phenomena of thermal losses and conduction effect. The effect of heat loss to surrounding (K1), conduction effect (K2) and air capacita...

Catalytic Combustion of Biogas-Hydrogen Mixtures in a Packed Bed Reactor

Optimal synthesis of rotating packed bed reactor

Rotating packed bed (RPB), a novel apparatus involving process intensification (PI), has been successfully used in the chemical industry in recent decades. In this paper, we establish a connection between process integration and process intensification for which we propose a superstructure involving a RPB and a packed bed (PB) in order to determine the optimal integrated design. We describe mod...

Effect of Pulsing on Reaction Outcome in a Gas-Liquid Catalytic Packed-Bed Reactor

There has been continuous interest and fascination with the fluid dynamics of trickle-beds (i.e., cocurrent gas-liquid packed-bed reactors) at least since Weekman and Myers (1964) first proposed a regime map for their operation. Consistent with other flow regime maps before (Baker, 1954; for gas-liquid pipe flow) and since (e.g., Mandhane et al., 1974; for pipe flow), visual observations were u...
