Flow in the zeolite fixed-bed

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,
I would like to simulate the microwave heating of the zeolite fixed-bed, in a quartz tube and quartz wool was used to support the bed. Up to now, I have used Electromagnetic and Heat Transfer but in reality I am passing nitrogen flow (100ml/min) through the fixed-bed, and I would like to add into the simulation.
Zeolite particles is between 80-150micrometer and the bed has 7mm height and 7mm in diameter.
I just do not know which physics should i have to use, for example I have tried the heat transfer in porous media and I added the laminar flow but I am having error thanks to the domain of the sample.
