Abstract:
Magnetic resonance methods have been used to investigate the porosity and flow distributions in packed beds. The motivation of our study is to understand the behaviour of multiphase flow in fixed bed reactors, especially in trickle bed reactors. The results of this study should be included in a model for predicting the influence of hydrodynamics on hydrodesulfurization process in bench-scale reactors.
