Towards A Theoretical Model Of Segregating Fluidization Of Two-Solid Beds, Bruno Formisani, Rossella Girimonte, Vincenzino Vivacqua
The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Fluidization of beds of two dissimilar solids is modelled by reworking the fundamental equations of fluidization. The approach followed illustrates the relationship between bed suspension and component segregation, as determined by differences in solid density and size. The need for empirical parameters is drastically reduced so that a unique representation of all types of mixture behaviour seems possible.

The bubbling fluidized bed flow regime is characterized by high heat and mass transfer rate and leads to a relatively short drying time. In this study, the gas-solid mixing and drying of pharmaceutical particles in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor was simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics approach.

Internally circulating fluidized beds (ICFBs) have been applied to a number of processes and provide a means of exchanging the bed particles from one reaction chamber to the other. Fundamental to this system is a good knowledge of the solids circulation rate (SRR). This paper summarises experimental investigations conducted using a hot tracer technique to measure the solids recirculation flux through an ICFB with a reaction and heat exchange chamber. Possible predictive models which link the bed hydrodynamics to the SRR are also evaluated.

The objective of this research work is to develop fluidized bed coal dryer to overcome the disadvantages of low rank coal with high moisture such as low calorific values, costly transportation, high emissions of pollutants, and operational problem. In this paper, laboratory scale bubbling fluidized bed was used to dry high moisture, low-rank Indonesian coal to produce low moisture, high-rank coal. The effects of temperature, gas velocity and bed height to diameter ratio (L/D) on drying rate were studied to obtain information relating to optimum operating conditions.

The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Gross solids circulation of solid phase and its influence on mixing/segregation of a large flotsam particle in beds of finer solids in unconventional fluidized beds has been investigated. A tapered two-dimensional fluidization column and a fluidization column equipped with a diverging cone as gas distributor have been adopted. The hydrodynamics of the gas-solid suspension in the two apparatus has been qualitatively assessed by visual observation and the trajectories of the centre-of-gravity of large flotsam particles have been evaluated to assess the extent of mixing/segregation.

High velocity horizontal gas jets are applied to various industrial processes. In this work, a new thermal technique has been developed to measure the penetration length of horizontal gas jets. Experiments were conducted in a fluidized bed with a height of 1.23m and a rectangular cross section of 0.10m × 0.50m. The fluidized bed particles, which were either petroleum coke or sand, were heated by an in-bed electrical heater to temperatures between 300°C and 500°C. Cold gases, such as helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, were injected into the hot fluidized bed via a horizontal nozzle operating over a range of velocities. …

Investigation Of Reforming Activity And Oxygen Transfer Of Olivine In A Dual Circulating Fluidised Bed System With Regard To Biomass Gasification, Stefan Koppatz, Tobias Pröll, Christoph Pfeifer, Hermann Hofbauer
The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Natural olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 is examined in a dual circulating fluidised bed (DCFB) reactor system of 120 kWth with regard to its reforming activity. Further, the oxygen transport capacity due to redox-cycling of the iron containing part of the olivine is considered. Based on a syngas composition derived from biomass gasification, the olivine is exposed to a surrogate gas mixture of H2, CO, CO2, CH4 and a tar compound (1-methylnaphthalene) at 850 °C. The results show the tar conversion at different tar loads. The investigations reveal that a low content of oxygen is transported by the olivine due to the redox-cycling …

The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Nanopowders are applied in a wide range of processes, and their use continues to increase. Fluidization is one of the best techniques available to disperse and process nanoparticles. However, nanoparticles cannot be fluidized individually; they fluidize as very porous agglomerates. Often, it is needed to apply an assisting method, such as vibration or microjets, to obtain proper fluidization. In this paper, we give a brief review of the developments in nanopowder fluidization.

The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Radiation-based single particle tracking approaches have distinct advantages in investigating opaque particle systems such as fluidized beds. The principles of one of these – positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) – are summarised here, together with recent developments in the use of the technique. Applications in bubbling beds, circulating beds, in heat transfer and in coating are illustrated. PEPT is beginning to be used in validation of computational methods for simulating fluidized beds, such as discrete element methods.

Particle Attrition Measurements Using A Jet Cup, Ray Cocco, S.B. Reddy Karri, Yeook Arrington, Roy Hays, John Findlay, Ted Knowlton
The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Particle attrition is usually detrimental as it negatively affects product quality and process cost. Thus, it is important to know how particles attrit under relevant operating conditions. Small jet cup attrition test devices (such as the Davison Jet Cup) are typically used to measure relative particle attrition for fluidized beds and risers. Ideally, the attrition rates measured in these laboratory units provide a relative indication of how the materials will behave in the commercial unit. Most jet cup devices have a cylindrical configuration. However, Particulate Solid Research, Inc. (PSRI) has found that a cylindrical jet cup attrition measurement may not …

Tests were conducted in 0.6-m and 0.9-m-diameter units to determine the effect of imposed solids flux and system pressure on gas bypassing in deep beds of FCC catalyst particles. Imposed solids fluxes of up to 70 kg/m2s and freeboard pressures of up to about 200 kPag were used. Imposing a solids flux on the fluid bed increased the potential for gas bypassing, while increasing the system pressure had the opposite effect.

Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging was used to measure the time-averaged voidage and particle velocity in a 3D gas-solid fluidized bed. Two different distributors were used. The mass-flux through a horizontal plane was calculated by combining the local voidage and particle velocity measurements. Based on the conservation of mass it was possible to give an error in the combined voidage and particle velocity measurements. It was found that the error in the mass flux was usually small (< 5%), albeit increasing with increasing fluidization velocities.

The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
Supersonic nozzles are applied to various fluidized bed processes, such as the production of pharmaceutical powders, fluid catalytic cracking, and fluid coking. In applications such as jet milling, it is essential to entrain a maximum flow-rate of solids from the fluidized bed into the jet cavity. Studies of solid entrainment rate into gas jets have been mostly conducted with subsonic jets and none with convergent-divergent nozzles. The purpose of this research is to study solids entrainment into jets issuing from supersonic convergent-divergent nozzles, and particularly the effects of nozzle size, nozzle mass flow-rate, injection gas properties and fluidization velocity.

It turned out that the change graphs of the absolute value of dimensionless amplitude of pressure fluctuations against air velocity can be used to evaluate values of the minimum fluidization velocity of polydisperse bed biomass pellets. An experimental verification is reported on the early predicting index of agglomeration in bubbling fluidized bed of biomass pellets and fine coal particles.
