About this document
Flow Dynamics in Packed Beds by Astra Beckett is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes flow through packed beds and the factors that influence pressure drop. It introduces the Ergun equation, which relates pressure drop, flow properties, and packing characteristics. For laminar flow, the equation simplifies to the Kozeny-Carman equation, and for turbulent flow it simplifies to the Blake-Plummer equation. The experiment explores trends in pressure drop and flow rate with particle size using simulations of flow past a sphere and through a packed bed.
