What is Fluid Flow Pressure Drop Through an Annular Bed of Spheres with Wall Effects about?
A model has been developed to predict the pressure drop for ̄ow through an annular packed bed of spheres at random distribution. Ergun's equation, with a corrected ̄ow velocity, is used. To consider the wall eect in the ̄ow distribution, the annular section was divided into three regions: the external and internal wall regions, and an intermediate one, called transition. To ®nd an average ̄ow velocity, to be used in Ergun's equation, a dierent treatment has been applied to the wall regions, with respect to the transition region. That was necessary due to the presence of a further wetted area and the distortion on the porosity distribution. Model prediction showed good agreement with experimental data. Experiments were carried out for fully developed turbulent ̄ow of air, at steady state condition, through an annular bed with a radius ratio of 1.369 and a bed to particle diameter ratio of 8.258.
