Question

Experimentally investigate the pressure drop between the packed bed having novel packing arrangement.

Answer 1

With the low pressure drop requirement in industry applications, a kind of slender packed bed with novel packing arrangement is proposed in the present study. It is based on the well-known principle that, in packed bed at 2 < D/d < 3, particles in contact with the wall tend to form a highly ordered ring structure. The pressure drop characteristic is investigated by experiment. The hydrodynamics in the novel packing is quite different from the random packing. Therefore, the Carman equation is modified to fit the experimental data with the mean deviation of 4%. The novel packing shows more favorable pressure drop characteristics than the random packing and the simple cubic structured packing. It would be useful for the optimum design in industry applications.
