Abstract
Flow Distribution Characteristics Were Investigated and Quantified in a 0.05 M Diameter Monolith Reactor, Operated Co-Current Downward in the Taylor Flow Regime, using Gamma Ray Computed Tomography (CT). the Flow Conditions Were Selected to Operate the Reactor in the Taylor Flow Regime and to Bracket Some Commercially Viable Operating Conditions for Such Reactors. Various Operating Parameters Were Evaluated for their Effect on the Degree of Flow Non-Uniformity in the Monolith Crosssection. the Results Show that within the Range of Gas and Liquid Superficial Velocities Investigated, There Exists a Window of Operating Conditions (Intermediate Gas and Liquid Velocities) Which Corresponds to a Close to Uniform Phase Distribution.
