The inclusion of a structured packing as internal in a liquid-solid fluidized bed allows expansion of the liquid velocity operation range before elutriation, promoting the liquid solid contact and mixing. The bed expansion ...

Air flow through packed beds was analyzed experimentally under conditions ranging from those that reinforce the effect of the wall on the void fraction to those that minimize it. The packing was spherical particles, with ...

The aim of this work is to propose an algorithm to simulate the packed bed structure of mono-sized spheres in cylindrical containers. The approach employed is called soft spheres algorithm, because it allows some degree ...

Various reasons have prevented the microbial control of structural pests from reaching the commercial development and practical use achieved with agricultural pests. Microbial products have not been very successful on the ...

Triacylglycerols (TAGs) can be modified to increase the absorption of fatty acids, prevent obesity, and treat fat malabsorption disorders and metabolic diseases. Medium–long–medium (MLM)-type TAGs, which contain medium-chain ...

This contribution is focused on the analysis of the structure of packed beds of spherical particles at relatively low aspect ratios (i.e., particle to tube diameter ratio) as those arising in multitubular fixed bed reactors. ...
