Sa. Noseir et al., FORCED-CONVECTION SOLID-LIQUID MASS-TRANSFER AT A FIXED-BED OF RASCHIG RINGS, International communications in heat and mass transfer, 22(1), 1995, pp. 111-122
Solid - liquid mass transfer characteristics of fixed beds of Raschig
rings were studied by measuring the rate of diffusion-controlled disso
lution of copper rings in acidified chromate solution. Variables studi
ed were ring diameter, physical properties of the solution and flow ra
te of the solution. The data were correlated for the conditions 825< S
c< 1510, 5<Re< 246< and 0.6cm<d<1.2 cm by the equation. J = 2.26 RE(-0
.57) A comparison was made between the mass transfer behavior of beds
packed with Rasching rings and beds packed with other packing geometri
es.
