Analysis of flow through cylindrical packed beds with small cylinder diameter to particle diameter ratios
(2014)The wall effect is known to present difficulties when attempting to predict the pressure drop over randomly packed beds. The Nuclear Safety Standard Commission, “Kerntechnischer Auss-chuss" (KTA), made considerable efforts ... -
Analysis of the pressure drop through structured packed beds
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Accurately analysing the pressure drop over structured packed beds is of great importance to certain reactor designs, such as the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR). In previous studies, the High Pressure Test Unit (HPTU) ... -
Investigation into the velocity distribution through an annular packed bed
(North-West University, 2009)The purpose of this study was to investigate the velocity distribution through an annular bed packed randomly with equal sized spheres. Extensive research has been conducted on the velocity distribution inside packed ... -
Numerical analysis of the flow distribution within packed columns using an explicit approach
(North-West University, 2011)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 ... -
The optimal hydraulic diameter of semicircular and triangular shaped channels for compact heat exchangers
(North-West University, 2010)All heat pump cycles have one common feature that connects them to one another; this feature is the presence of a heat exchanger. There are even some heat–driven cycles that are completely composed of heat exchangers, every ...
