A packed bed reactor is 2 m long with 0.2 m diameter. The reactor is filled with 1000 spherical particles with a diameter of 5 mm. Air enters the reactor at a volumetric flow rate of 0.0X m3/s. At these conditions, density of air is 1.2 kg/m3 with a viscosity y of 3.0 x 10-5 Pa.s. Calculate:
- Porosity of the bed reactor.
- The gas mass velocity, G.
- Re number, at this value of Re would kinetics or viscous effect dominate the pressure drop?
- Pressure drop across the reactor.
