Study of Pressure Drop in Fixed Bed Reactor Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Code

Pressure drops of water and critical steam flowing in the fixed bed of mono-sized spheres are studied using SolidWorks 2017 Flow Simulation CFD code. The effects of the type of bed formation, flow velocity, density, and pebble size are evaluated. A new equation is concluded from the data, which is a...
