For a packed bed, dispersion is usually correlated against

  • A.a Peclet number on particle diameter
  • B.the Reynolds number of the flow on its own
  • C.the porosity of the bed alone
  • D.the length of the reactor only

Answer: A

Correct answer: a Peclet number on particle diameter

In a packed bed the mixing length is set by the particles rather than by the vessel, so the dispersion correlations are written in terms of a Peclet number based on particle diameter - and that group settles at a value of about two for liquids in turbulent flow over a wide range of conditions. The vessel Peclet number is then obtained from it and the bed geometry, as the next item shows.
