Mass transfer and mixing in a packed bed of spheres

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I would like to simulate a mixing of 2 components A & B trough a packed bed reactor (D=10cm L=50cm) of spheres (2 mm), and analyze the average composition across the bed in the axial direction.

Let's imagine that the species enter the inlet cross section completely separated:
- Component A -> External annular section
- Component B -> Internal circle

How would you approach the problem?
Have you got some advice on simulate a bed of spheres all of the same size?

Thank you in advance for your support.
