Microstructured materials have potential for enhanced mass and heat transfer compared to typical catalyst particulates used in industrial processes. The pressure drop through catalyst-containing materials is a very important reactor design consideration. A model equation to predict porous media permeability (PMP) over the entire range of possible bed voidages is extended to predict properties of sintered metal meshes, A correlation of data for sintered meshes of nickel fibers is presented in the form of a Kozeny constant form drag plot. Comparison of predictions by the PMP equation with data taken on a sintered composite fiber/particle mesh is presented. Use of the PMP equation as a design tool for optimization of media for adsorbents, catalysts, and filters is discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
