Abstract

Abstract Experimental measurements on liquid distribution in a trickle‐bed reactor are presented, as well as the effect of liquid and gas flow on radial liquid distribution. The influence of liquid density and surface tension was also investigated. The model for liquid distribution proposed by Herskowitz and Smith in 1978 was modified to incorporate the effect of particle orientation. Model parameters are correlated with liquid and gas flow rates, as well as liquid surface tension.
