The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
A study has been carried out on the hydrodynamics of conical spouted beds with a non-porous draft-tube. A hydrodynamic correlation has been proposed for calculating the minimum spouting velocity as a function of dimensionless moduli that take into account geometric factors, particle characteristics and operating conditions. A statistical analysis of the data obtained following a design of experiments shows that the inlet diameter, particle diameter and the height of the entrainment zone are the parameter of greater influence on the minimum spouting velocity.

The 13th International Conference on Fluidization - New Paradigm in Fluidization Engineering
A model using a particle based approach is developed to accurately predict the hydrodynamic behavior of biomass particles in CFBs. Generally, the change in the pressure gradient with height in CFB riser is small. Numerical results are in good agreement with experiments, both in form and magnitude.
