Abstract

Flow Distribution Characteristics in a 0.05 M Diameter Monolith Reactor, Operated Co-Current Downward in the Taylor Flow Regime, Was Investigated and Quantified using Gamma Ray Computed Tomography (CT). the Results Indicate that the Flow Distribution is a Strong Function of Liquid Distributor Design, and Gas and Liquid Superficial Velocities. Additionally, within the Range of Gas and Liquid Superficial Velocities Investigated, a Window of Operating Condition (Gas and Liquid Velocities) Was Identified Which Resulted in a Close to Uniform Phase Distribution. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
