The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the support material used for biomass attachment and bed porosity on the potential generation of hydrogen gas in an anaerobic bioreactor treating low-strength wastewater. ...

Porosity and pore size distribution are influencing factors of several physical properties of porous media. For solid-state cultivation (SSC), this structural information is also important to determine the free space ...

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. ...

Axial dispersion of a solute in a flow through packed beds arises from molecular diffusion, velocity variations at the interstitial-pore scale and systematic radial velocity profiles. Currently, there is not a widely ...

The relationship between the radial voidage profile, ϵ(r), and the radial distribution of centres of mono‐sized spherical particles, f(r), is revised. A close expression is given for the section S(r1, rc), the area of the ...
