The cross-flow rotating packed bed (RPB) has attracted wide attention in recent years because of its advantages of large gas capacity, low pressure drop and lack of flooding limitation. However, the complex structure of the packing makes it difficult to obtain the gas flow characteristics in the cross-flow RPB by experiments. In this study, the dry pressure drop in the cross-flow RPB was investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The packing was modeled by the porous media model and the rotation of the packing was simulated by the sliding mesh model. The simulation results obtained by three turbulence models were compared with experimental results, and the RNG k-ε model was found to best describe the turbulence behaviors in the cross-flow RPB. Then, the effects of gas flow rate and rotating speed on dry pressure drop in different parts of the cross-flow RPB were analyzed. The results of this study can provide important insights into the design and scale-up of cross-flow RPB.

Understanding the flow pattern of the gas jets in packed beds can have considerable significance in improving reactor design and process optimization. This study researches the fuel diffusion in the radial direction and the flame length in a packed bed of a Parallel Flow Regenerative (PFR) Shaft kiln. This kiln is characterized that the fuel is injected vertically in the packed bed using a lot of lances in the cross-section while the combustion air is distributed continuously. Such a large, packed bed has to be approximated as a porous media. This assumption is used to model the reactive flow in the kilns. Using a box with 700 spheres of 52 mm spheres in Body-Centered Cube (B.C.C.) arrangement the local concentrations of injected nitrogen in airflow were measured. The measured values match approximately with those calculated with the Porous Media Model (PMM). The studied parameters are the number of burners and burner arrangements. The radial mixing of fuel and air in a packed bed is relatively bad. Therefore, a lot of burners are needed for better temperature homogenization in the cross-section.

Rotating Packed Bed

Based on acetone-H2O system, the influence of the gas-liquid distribution inducer on the mass transfer coefficient in the rotating packed bed with the stainless steel packing was investigated. Furthermore, the absorption performance was also obtained under the experimental condition of the rotational speed of 630 rpm, the gas flow rate of 2 m3/h and the liquid flow rate of 100 L/h in the rotating packed bed with different types and different installation ways of the distribution inducer. The experimental results showed that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient Kyα per unit contact length of gas-liquid was increased by 8.6% for the forward-curved fixed blade, by 19.8% for the backward-curved rotor blade and by 33.2% with the combination of the straight radial rotor blade and the backward-curved fixed blade, respectively. Furthermore, when the gas flow rate was 2.5 m3/h, Kyα per unit contact length of gas-liquid was increased by 2.9% for the forward-curved fixed blade, by 25.3% for the backward-curved rotor blade, by 42.7% for the combination of the straight radial rotor blade and the backward-curved fixed blade, respectively. The results indicated that the distribution inducer play an important role on the improvement of the mass transfer coefficient in acetone-H2O system.

The annual increase in energy demand has led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, in particular CO2 emissions from the power generation industry. Carbon Capture and Utilization are technologies applied to capture CO2 gases and transform the gases into a different energy source. The adsorption technology to capture CO2 gases was chosen due to the minimum energy consumption and low costs required for an industrial application for sustainability. Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) has a reasonably high CO2 adsorption capability. It has been applied as an adsorbent for capturing and storing CO2. In this study, a comparison of CFD simulation with experimental CO2 and methane adsorption values in solid adsorbent beds containing MOF-5 at various temperatures was presented. The simulation was performed using 2D and 3D models from 0℃ at STP to 130℃ for CO2 and methane gas molecules. In addition, the isothermal and kinetic adsorption model was added to the simulations. This includes Single- and Dual-Site Langmuir adsorption isotherm and Linear Driving Force. The porous media model was then activated to imitate packed bed adsorbent and measured the pressure drop from the simulation. The results showed that the CO2 adsorption values of MOF-5 decrease as the adsorbent temperature increases. There was a decline of 0.002 mmol/g of adsorbed CO2 molecules per 10-kelvin difference. The CO2 adsorption value was 0.53 mmol/g at STP and 1.15 mmol/g for CH4 at STP. Both CO2 and CH4 adsorption were used to suggest optimal CO2 adsorption for the Pressure Swing Adsorption cycle.
