Critical design parameters reproduced from Inglezakis and Poulopoulos (2006).
| Parameter | Comments |
|---|---|
| L/Us | Critical |
| L/dp | Minimal effect if it is higher than 150 |
| L/D | Minimal effect if it is greater than 5 |
| D/dp | Minimal effect if it is higher than 30 and geometrical similarity can be ignored |
| Rep | Minimal effect if L/dp > 150 |
| dp | Critical |
| Ε | Minimal effect if dp/D& <& 0.1 |
| Us | Minimal effect if solid diffusion is rate-controlling and if the unit operation is in up-flow mode |
