Fuel cell systems typically use a hydrogen supply cycle system to circulate and transport
unreacted hydrogen to the anode to maximize the fuel cell's fuel efficiency and fuel …

The effect of the tube wall on the fluid flow and heat transfer would be important in the
packed bed with low tube to particle diameter ratio, which may lead to flow and temperature …

Packed beds are widely used in industries, in which the flow and heat transfer
characteristics of the packed bed may have a significant effect on the energy efficiency of the …

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 …

A dual‐network model (DNM) representing the topological characteristics of both the pore
space and solid fraction of a packed bed was developed to study coupled incompressible …

A generalized approach to model heat transfer in an industrial-scale wall-cooled packed
bed reactor with a low tube-to-particle diameter ratio (< 8) is proposed and assessed in this …

Experiments on single-phase flow through packed beds at 1.025< D/d< 2.88 are conducted
