Porous Flow 1
Porous Flow • Is a multiphase flow involving fluids passing through a permeable bed of particles • Process examples: – Catalytic converter – Drying column – Filtration (this will be cover in details later) • Objective: to predict pressure drop. Pressure drop prediction is complicated by the variety of solid materials and of their packing arrangement (or patterns) 2

Properties of Porous Particles • Porosity/Voidage/Void fraction ( ) – Is the fraction of volume that is not occupied by solid materials • Specific surface, S – Is the surface area of a particle divided by its volume – For a sphere: – For other shape particles: 4

Pressure drop – Compressible Flow • Gas flow through a packed bed under conditions where there is appreciable pressure drop ( Compressible flow) • Because the pores between the particles are of different sizes, there may well be choked flow in small pores • Pressure drops are larger than expected because of coking • Computation of pressure drops should consider the overall energy equation: 21
Two Phase Flows in Porous Media • For gas liquid flow, liquid wets the surface of the particle (wetted fluid) • Gas flows through the larger pores that are limited with liquid, and thus does not make direct contact with the solid. Consequently, the gas experiences much less resistance to flow than the liquid (Non-wetting fluid) 22
• Saturation – Is the fraction of the voidage occupied by the specific fluid – We can calculate the saturation for both the liquid and gas phase – Adding up to 1 23
