| dc.description.abstract | Existing correlations developed to account for pressure drop and velocity distribution in packed beds are not ideal for beds with low aspect ratios. This study investigated a method to model flow distribution through packed columns by performing numerical analysis using an explicit approach. Fixed random packed beds for column–to–sphere diameter ratios of 1.39 | en_US |
