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. ...

A statistical model is proposed for the description of the spatial structure of a packed bed of spherical-like particles in terms of one- and two-bead distribution functions. This is the first step toward the full modeling ...

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 ...

The radiation field in photocatalytic packed beds results from direct energy exchange between the lamp and the catalytic beads, and from mutual exchange between beads that are close to each other. The statistical description ...

In protein evolution, due to functional and biophysical constraints, the rates of amino acid substitution differ from site to site. Among the best predictors of site-specific rates are solvent accessibility and packing ...

The knowledge of structural properties of beds packed with particles from agro-industrial solid wastes is important for modeling and simulation of heat and mass transfer in solid-state fermentation (SSF) in packed-bed ...

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 ...
