Gas-induced fluidization of mobile liquid-saturated grains.
Gas invasion in liquid-saturated sands exhibits different morphologies and dynamics. For mobile beds, the repeated rise of gas through the layer leads to the growth of a fluidized zone, which reaches a stationary shape. Here, we present experimental results characterizing the evolution of the fluidized region as a function of the gas-flow rate and grain size. We introduce a new observable, the ...
متن کاملGranular Flows and Gas-fluidization
This paper examines the roles that granular flow theory might play in the modeling the solid-phase stresses in fluidized beds. It begins with a discussion of the historical limiting cases of the quasistatic and rapid-flow regimes. It then reviews the elastic granular theories that unify those two regimes. Finally it shows that measurements of solid-phase pressures cannot be explained by commonl...
متن کاملGas Fluidization Characteristics of Nanoparticle Agglomerates
An experimental study is conducted to determine the effect of different types of nanoparticles on the gas fluidization characteristics of nanoparticle agglomerates. Taking advantage of the extremely high porosity of the bed, optical techniques are used to visualize the flow behavior, as well as to measure the sizes of the fluidized nanoparticle agglomerates at the bed surface. Upon fluidizing 1...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Behaviour in a New Gas-liquid-solid Inverse Fluidization Airlift Bioreactor
A gas-liquid-solid inverse uidization airlift bioreactor was proposed by combining advantages of external-loop airlift reactors and inverse uidized beds. This airlift bioreactor comprises a gas-liquid riser, a gas separator, a liquid-solid inverse uidized downcomer and a bottom connector. The effects of the gas velocity and the particle loading on the gas holdup in the riser and the liqui...
متن کاملStudy of gas-fluidization dynamics with laser-polarized 129Xe.
We report initial NMR studies of gas dynamics in a particle bed fluidized by laser-polarized xenon (129Xe) gas. We have made preliminary measurements of two important characteristics: gas exchange between the bubble and emulsion phases and the gas velocity distribution in the bed. We used T2* contrast to differentiate the bubble and emulsion phases by choosing solid particles with large magneti...
