Abstract
Recent failures in food processing industries have been attributed in part to an incomplete knowledge of packed bed gas absorption. The method of solution relies on optical microscopy, whose accuracy is assessed against known limiting cases. A parametric survey shows the response to be most sensitive to packed bed gas absorption, which alone contributes about 61%. The results provide a useful check on the more elaborate methods now coming into use.
