Gas-Liquid-Solid Fluidized Bed Simulation by Computational Fluid Dynamics

Gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed technique has emerged recently as one of the most promising one for three phase operations involved in chemical, biochemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical processing industries. Out of the fundamental characteristics of a three-phase fluidized bed, the gas hold up and liquid hold up behaviours have been studied extensively. Considering the various researchers’ fi...

Solid Holdup and Circulation Rate in a Liquid-solid Circulating Fluidized Bed with Viscous Liquid Medium

Experiments were conducted in a liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed with different viscous liquids and particles to study the hydrodynamics, average solid hold up and solid circulation rate. The effects of operating parameters, i.e., primary liquid flow rate in the riser, auxiliary liquid flow rate, total liquid flow rate and viscosity of the liquid were studied for solids of different densi...
