Influence of Foam Morphology on Flow and Heat Transport in a Random Packed Bed with Metallic Foam Pellets—An Investigation Using CFD
2022
Materials
Open-cell metallic foams used as catalyst supports exhibit excellent transport properties. In this work, a unique application of metallic foam, as pelletized catalyst in a packed bed reactor, is examined. By using a wall-segment Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) setup, parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the influence of foam morphologies (cell size ϕ=0.45–3 mm and porosity ε=0.55–0.95) and intrinsic conductivity on flow and heat transport characteristics in a slender packed bed
