Porosity of Packed Beds of Spherocylinders Using the Monte Carlo Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Applications of granular materials, such as packed particle beds, are frequent in the oil and gas sector. Granular solids can also be used as adsorbents for natural gas storage in vehicles. Therefore, knowledge of the properties of such materials is important for safe and efficient equipment design. In this work, in order to evaluate the influence of particle shape on the porosity of particle beds, configurations of monodispersed beds of spherocylinders with equal volume, but different elongations, are obtained using the Monte Carlo method.

Numerical simulation of effect of non-spherical particle shape and bed size on hydrodynamics of packed beds
Fluid flow has a fundamental role in the performance of packed bed reactors. Some related issues, such as pressure drop, are strongly affected by porosity, so non-spherical particles are used in industry for enhancement or creation of the desired porosity. In this study, the effects of particle shape, size, and porosity of the bed on the hydrodynamics of packed beds are investigated with three ...
متن کاملModelling radiative heat transfer in packed beds
A comprehensive approach for modelling dependent radiative heat transfer in beds of large (geometric range) spherical particles is presented. Such a system of large spheres lies in the dependent range even for large porosities. We show that the dependent properties for a bed of opaque spheres can be obtained from their independent properties by scaling the optical thickness while leaving the al...
متن کاملComputer simulation of charged hard spherocylinders.
In this work we present a computer simulation study of charged hard spherocylinders of aspect ratio L/sigma=5, using NVT and NPT Monte Carlo methods. Coulombic interactions are handled using the Wolf method [D. Wolf, P. Keblinski, S. R. Phillpot, and J. Eggebrecht, J. Chem. Phys. 110, 8254 (1999)]. Thermodynamic and structural properties are in excellent agreement with the results obtained with...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of a Wideband Backward-wave Directional Coupler Using Neural Network and Monte Carlo Method (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper sensitivity analysis of a wideband backward-wave directional coupler due to fabrication imperfections is done using Monte Carlo method. For using this method, a random stochastic process with Gaussian distribution by 0 average and 0.1 standard deviation is added to the different geometrical parameters of the coupler and the frequency response of the coupler is estimated. The appli...
متن کاملComputational analysis of transitional air flow through packed columns of spheres using the finite volume technique
We compare computational simulations of the flow of air through a packed column containing spherical particles with experimental and theoretical results for equivalent beds. The column contained 160 spherical particles at an aspect ratio N = 7.14, and the experiments and simulations were carried out at particle Reynolds numbers of (Redp = 700 − 5000). Experimental measurements were taken of the...
