Experimental analysis of the resistance of packed beds based on the morphology of cylinder

Accurate prediction of the resistance of packed beds with cylindrical particles is critical for industrial applications. In this work, a series of experiments were performed to explore the effect of the morphology of cylinder on the pressure drop of airflow through packed beds. We used machined stainless-steel cylindrical particles with diameters of 3, 4, and 6 mm and an aspect ratio H/D = 1–10 to conduct the resistance experiment. The novelty...
