Correlations for wall and particle shape effects on fixed bed bulk voidage

Dixon, Anthony G.·1988·The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering

Abstract

Correlations have been derived, by both geometrical arguments and empirical treatment of data, for the bulk void fraction in a fixed bed. The void fraction has been correlated as a function of particle‐to‐tube diameter ratio for packings of spheres and equilateral solid cylinders. Prediction of void fraction for equilateral hollow cylinders can be made from the solid cylinder correlation, provided a correction factor is included that allows for internal voidage and interpenetration of packings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
