To align with plant requirements, two correction techniques—optimization of parameter settings and updating binary interaction parameters (BIPs) in material library files—were employed to refine the purification plant model. These adjustments minimized deviations between simulation calculations and assessment analysis results to less than 5%. Subsequently, the accuracy and applicability of the modified model under diverse working conditions were validated by comparing and analyzing the corresponding working conditions with actual industrial data.

It uniquely incorporates variable thermal conductivity and variable mass diffusivity into the heat and mass transfer equations. The governing equations are solved using the bvp4c algorithm. Key findings reveal that higher squeezing reduces velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions. Increasing micropolar parameters enhances velocity, whereas variable thermal conductivity raises temperature profiles. Greater molecular diffusivity and chemical reaction parameters accelerate mass transfer rates, and the drag force intensifies with higher squeezing. Additionally, it is also noted that the squeezing parameter with a value (<i>c</i> = 0.2) demonstrated a stronger heat transmission rate (<i>Nu</i> = 0.33062) than the mass transfer rate (<i>Sh</i> = 0.2544).</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10083,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering & Technology","volume":"49 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148100405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particle image velocimetry measurement results inside and above the bed are presented for Reynolds numbers of 100 and 200 and used as validation data for two sets of particle-resolved numerical simulations, using a boundary-conforming meshing strategy and treating the solid boundaries via the blocked-off method. The flow inside the bed is largely independent of the Reynolds number and determined by the void space geometry. The flow in the freeboard is dominated by the presence of slowly dissipating jets downstream of the bed. The numerical results are in good agreement with the measurements, both inside and above the bed; however, stronger deviations can be observed in the freeboard and can be traced to numerical properties of the current simulation approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":10083,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering & Technology","volume":"49 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ceat.70244","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148100406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
