Solids in Risers of Circulating Fluidized Beds (CFB) Exhibit Local Backflow and Recirculation. Measurement of the Concentration-Time Response to an Impulse Injection of Tracer, Even at Two Elevations Cannot Determine the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) of Solids Uniquely. Hence, Evaluation of RTD in Risers from Conventional Tracer Responses is Difficult and Often Not Possible. in Addition, Estimating the Solids Circulation Rate in These Closed Loop Systems, is a Non-Trivial Problem. in This Work, a Single Radioactive Particle in the CFB Loop is Tracked during its Multiple Visits to the Riser And, by Invoking Ergodicity, Solids Circulation Rate, Accurate Solids RTD …

Monolith Reactors Are Being Studied as a Replacement for Conventional Multiphase Reactors Such as Trickle-Bed Reactors, Slurry Reactors, and Slurry Bubble Column Reactors for Gas-Liquid-Solid Reactions. Reactors with Monolith Catalyst Packing Have Been Found to Be Hydrodynamically Superior to Existing Industrial Reactors. This Review Covers Multiphase Reactions Carried Out in Monolith Reactors by Various Researchers. It First Defines the Monolith Reactor and Looks into the Geometrical Aspects of Monolith. the Section Dealing with Hydrodynamics Reviews Pressure Drop, Phase Holdup, Flow Distribution, and Dispersion Characteristics. This Study Also Considers the Tools Used to Characterize the Hydrodynamic Parameters and their Typical Values. …

Mixing in Photobioreactors is Known to Enhance Biomass Productivity Considerably, and Flow Dynamics Play a Significant Role in the Reactor's Performance, as They Determine the Mixing and the Cells' Movement. in This Work We Focus on Analyzing the Effects of Mixing and Flow Dynamics on the Photobioreactor Performance. based on Hydrodynamic Findings from the CARPT(Computer Automated Radioactive Particle Tracking) Technique, a Possible Mechanism for the Interaction between the Mixing and the Physiology of Photosynthesis is Presented, and the Effects of Flow Dynamics on Light Availability and Light Intensity Fluctuation Are Discussed and Quantitatively Characterized. Furthermore, a Dynamic Modeling Approach is …
