The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides
comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

The prediction of the pressure drop of packed beds requires an accurate estimation of the
packed-bed porosity as its error propagation multiplies the occurring errors by a factor of …

Rhizosphere soil is known to differ from the bulk soil due to numerous physicochemical
processes induced by root growth. The spatial extent and magnitude of the influence of roots …

The hydrodynamics in packed reactors strongly influences reactor performance. However,
limited experimental techniques are capable of non-invasively measuring the velocity field in …

The transport phenomena in packed beds are sensitive to porosity variations. However,
empirical correlations in the literature are not in agreement regarding the prediction of the …

The channeling effect at the container wall results in difficulties for heat transfer in the central
part of packed beds with small tube-to-particle diameter ratios. To overcome this …

The presence of the confining wall exerts critical influences on packing structure, as well as
transport properties of packed beds with small D/d ratios. In the present work, the variations …

Cylindrical particles are widely employed in chemical engineering when a high surface area
is necessary for process intensification. However, reliable information about the orientation …

In this paper a comprehensive analysis of the porosity of the annular packed bed of the High
Temperature Test Unit (HTTU) is presented. The annular packed bed is generated using a …

Experiments on single-phase flow through packed beds at 1.025< D/d< 2.88 are conducted
using water, where the packed beds have advantages such as high radial mixing intensity …
