A rotating packed bed (RPB) has received considerable attention of many researchers due
to its high mass transfer rate and mixing efficiency. In order to effectively promote and …

A unique flow visualization facility, based on X-ray imaging, has been developed to study,
characterize, and measure various flow characteristics in large vertical systems that have …

Abstract Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) has the capability of offering time-evolving
multidimensional comprehensive process knowledge, enrichment of fundamental process …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a new emerging tool that is a combination of fluid
dynamics (CFD) and numerical mathematics backed up by the immense growth of computer …

Today chemical engineering has to answer to the changing needs of the chemical and
related process industries and to meet the market demands. Being a key to survival in …

Traditionally the intermediate scale and fine chemicals industries have relied on stirred tank
reactors, operated continuously or more commonly batchwise, as the work horse of their …

A review is presented of measurement techniques to characterise dispersed multiphase
flows, which are not accessible by means of conventional optical techniques. The main …

This paper presents an extensive review of the kinetics, hydrodynamics, mass transfer, heat
transfer and mathematical as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of Low …

The accurate prediction of flow regimes is vital for the analysis of behaviour and operation of
gas/liquid two-phase systems in industrial processes. This paper investigates the feasibility …

In gas-solid fluidized beds, the distribution of the particles typically varies both in time and
space. Since the gas-solids distribution and its variation have a strong influence on the …
