Title: Evaluation of temperature profiles in packed beds by simulation Authors: Maria Teresa Colli Serrano; Ralf Suarez Venue: OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) Year: 1996 Canonical: openalex:https://openalex.org/W2413415597 URL: https://openalex.org/W2413415597 Collector: openalex OA: false ABSTRACT The packed bed reactors with cocurrent upflow or downflow of gas and liquid are widely used in chemical and petrochemical industries for solid-catalysed heterogeneous reactions. It`s well known that a preferential-flow exists, thus the estimation of heat transfer parameters such as thermal conductivity of the bed and wall transfer resistance are important in order to predict the temperature profiles inside the reactor. This paper let us simulate the influence of these preferential zones of flow on the heat transfer parameters on this type of reactor. 6 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
