The shape, size, and packing of catalyst particles plays a significant role in the performance of packed bed columns or reactors. Performing experiments to find out the best configuration is usually a quite hectic process, then advanced numerical simulation techniques help us to analyze the performance of catalysts with various shapes.
This webinar focuses on the application of CFD-DEM scale modeling to understand the micro-scale interactions within packed beds and how they translate to macro-scale performance metrics like pressure drop and thermal gradients.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand performance metrics - learn how particle shape, size, and packing affect pressure drop and heat transfer.
- Explore advanced simulation techniques - get insights into CFD-DEM based particle-scale simulations.
- Industry-specific applications - gain valuable insights into CFD for Catalyst, Refining, and Chemical Processing.
- Solve Industry Challenges - discover how CFD can tackle complex catalyst-related process issues.
- Overcome Bottlenecks - learn best practices for handling packed bed geometries.
