Thermal-hydraulic considerations for particle bed reactors

Creators

Description

The physical parameters of a particle bed reactor can significantly impact performance and suitability for a particular mission. The thermal and hydraulic considerations related to these physical parameters are presented based on a conceptual reference design. Key overall assumptions and technical correlations are discussed. The importance of two design parameters, inlet frit porosity and outlet channel diameter, is demonstrated
