... gasification chemical reactors effective properties tomography heat transfer mass transfer Packed-bed reactors containing porous media are commonly used in solid–gas thermochemical processing because of their high contacting area. Of interest are packed-bed reactors for producing solar fuels...

... of these chemical reactors and processes. Experimental investigations of transmittance and extinction coefficients of porous media have been performed for foams and packed beds of opaque, transparent, and semitransparent phases ( 5 6 7 8 ). Numerical simulation were carried out for artificially generated ( 9 10...

.... Current practice in stationary hydrogen production is to use multiple fixed bed tubes as the chemical reactor for steam reformation. The common size of a single tube is 10.16 cm i.d. and 1140 cm length, filled with reforming catalyst with no other obstruction (communication with Air...
