Calibration of drag models for mesoscale simulation of gas–liquid flow through packed beds

Journal Article Finn, Justin R. ; Galvin, Janine E. - Chemical Engineering Science

We propose a systematic approach for calibrating the interphase drag models used in mesoscale CFD simulations of gas-liquid flow through packed beds. The method uses packing specific liquid holdup and pressure drop data to find model coefficients that both minimize relative error in the two-phase momentum equations and ensure correct limiting single phase behavior of the model. The approach is demonstrated for three phenomenological drag models from the literature using data from a random Bialecki ring packing under counterflow conditions. Calibration results in a 2-3 fold reduction in the mean relative error for predicted pressure gradient/liquid holdup, relative to predictionsmore »« less

Computer simulation of transient energy storage in a packed-bed of iron spheres with liquid-metal through-flow by numerical inversion of Laplace transforms

Conference Lu, P C - Proc., Intersoc. Energy Convers. Eng. Conf.; (United States)

As a step toward the design of thermal storage units with liquid metals flowing through packed iron spheres, a computer simulation of the two phase (fluid-solid) response of such a unit to a single-blow application of the through-flow is reported. The thermal capacity of the liquid metal is taken advantage of by considering the energy storage and heat conduction in both phases, together with realistic boundary conditions at the entrance and exit of the unit. A new technique for the numerical inversion of Laplace transforms (using Fourier integrals in the real domain, and perfected by Crump) is used as themore »« less
Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of the Gas–Solid Flow Behavior Inside a Full-Loop Circulating Fluidized Bed: Evaluation of Different Drag Models

Journal Article Xu, Yupeng ; Musser, Jordan ; Li, Tingwen ; ... - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Both experimental and computational studies of the fluidization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) particles in a small-scale full-loop circulating fluidized bed (CFB) are conducted. Experimental measurements of pressure drop are taken at various locations along the bed. The solids circulation rate is measured with an advanced particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. Bed height of the quasi-static region in the standpipe is also measured. Comparative numerical simulations are performed with a computational fluid dynamics solver utilizing a discrete element method (CFD-DEM). Here, this paper examines the effect of different drag laws used in the CFD simulations through a detailed and direct comparisonmore »« less

Modeling and Analysis of Coupled Flow Through Packed Beds as a Diagnostic Tool for Packed Bed Reactor Health - 17172

Conference Zemanian, Thomas S. ; Witwer, Keith

The US Department of Energy, Office of River Protection, is building the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) in Richland, Washington, to immobilize the hundreds of millions of liters of radioactive waste stored at the Hanford Site in Washington state. The offgas generated during vitrification of these wastes requires treatment to remove and/or destroy chemical and radioactive hazardous components before release to the atmosphere. In particular, volatile and semi-volatile hydrocarbon components are to be catalytically oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, whereas nitrogen oxides (NOx) are to be catalytically reduced to nitrogen and water. These tasks are accomplished in amore »« less
Pressure drop in flow of a Newtonian liquid through a fixed randomly packed bed of spherical particles

Journal Article Dolesjs, V ; Lecjaks, Z - Int. Chem. Eng.; (United States)

The work discusses the validity of equations for the calculation of pressure drop in a fixed bed of particles under conditions for which the inertial forces have an effect. The purpose of the experiments was to determine an equation correlating the individual dimensionless values which characterize the system. The experiments conducted and the data found in the literature were used for this purpose. The results obtained also are valid for a generalized Newtonian liquid characterized by a logarithmic mode. 13 references.
