To investigate the flow characteristics in particulate beds with different packing structures
the experiments on flow characteristics of particulate homogeneous and stratified beds consisting of two kinds of spherical particles were performed on the test facility of DEBECO(DEbris BEd COolability). Based on the experimental results
the pressure drops were compared and analyzed
and the flow resistance models were further verified. The experimental results showed that the effective diameter is closer to the area mean diameter at low flow rates(Re
p
<
7)for a bed packed with uniform mixture of particles
but more closer to the length mean diameter with increasing flow rates(Re
p
>7). For gas-water cocurrent flo
w through a homogeneous bed
the predictions of Reed's model were more comparable with the measured pressure drops. Compared with the homogeneous bed filled with the same particles
the stratified bed showed a lower flow resistance. The experimental results may contribute to the analysis of flow resistance in porous media.
