In narrow fixed‐bed reactors the influence of the confining wall on pressure drop cannot be neglected. Here, the pressure drop in single pellet string reactors, a limiting case of fixed‐bed reactors with a cylinder‐to‐particle diameter ratio below 2, is studied using computational fluid dynamics simulations. Deviations to the Ergun, and more specifically Blake‐Kozeny equation are evident though the...
