Ma. Latifi et al., VELOCITY-GRADIENT AT THE WALL OF A PACKED-BED REACTOR WITH SINGLE-PHASE LIQUID FLOW - MEASUREMENTS AND MODELING, Chemical engineering and processing, 36(3), 1997, pp. 251-254
The average velocity gradient was measured by means of microelectrodes
embedded in a non-conducting wall of a packed bed reactor with single
phase liquid flow. We showed that these experimental results could be
correctly predicted by the hydrodynamic model developed by Vortmeyer
and Schuster for the evaluation of steady flow profiles in circular pa
cked beds. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
