In 2006, Dixon et al. published the comprehensive review article entitled “Packed tubular
reactor modeling and catalyst design using computational fluid dynamics.” More than one …

Extensive usage of the structured packings in various industrial applications has led to
comprehensive investigations of their properties and performance. Among various methods …

Hollow fiber membrane contactors (HFMCs) can effectively separate CO 2 from post-
combustion flue gas by providing a high contact surface area between the flue gas and a …

Particle resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) has been used extensively to obtain
closures for heat transfer from static particle arrays. However, most of the currently available …

This research frames a novel approach to develop a pseudo-continuous model for
describing the dynamics of a Newtonian fluid in an industrial-scale packed-bed reactor …

The packing densification of mono-sized equilateral cylindrical particles under mechanical
vibration is numerically reproduced using discrete element method (DEM). The influences of …

Fluid flow and heat transfer in a randomly packed bed of sinter particles (RPBSP) is
experimentally investigated. Based on the Chilton–Colburn analogy, heat transfer …

In this work, the hydrodynamics inside packed beds of particles with different shapes are
investigated: spherical, cylindrical, and cubical particles. The cylindrical and cubical …

Random close packings (RCP) of different shaped cylindrical particles under optimal
vibration conditions were numerically reproduced using discrete element method …

Systematic physical experiments examining the packing densification of mono-sized
cylindrical particles subject to 3D mechanical vibration were carried out. The influence of …
