Objectives 1. Set up COMSOL to analyze fluidized-bed steady mass transport from a cylindrical pellet in creeping fluid cross-flow. 2. Perform a set of computer experiments for 5 < Re < 75 and 4 < Sc < 32, hence evaluate the influence of the characterizing non-D groups on mass concentration distributions in the pellet downstream plume. Pay particular attention to solution monotonicity in the plume region directly downstream of the pellet. 3. Perform a mesh refinement study for the Re = 75, Sc = 4 specification, hence determine the minimum solution-adapted non-uniform M mesh required to produce an engineering accurate monotone solution. |
