DSP-24 Effect of Thermowell Insertion Depth into Random and/or Structured Packed Beds Traditional Research Idea

Expected Benefit to Members: Improved installation and design know-how. Present Situation and Proposed Research:

How much does temperature change across the bed at one elevation? We are curious because of the strange temperature profiles we see sometimes and wonder if bypassing has something to do with it and not knowing if the bulk of the bed is operating OK or not. Proposed Internals and Test System: Could be a hydrocarbon systems or water and hot air at different V/L and temperature differences but done in a way that good liquid and vapor distribution are expected. Estimated Unit Time: Unknown Estimated Additional Costs (Beyond Unit Time): Unknown Background and Discussion: None
