Potential Distribution in a Fluidized Bed Electrode

Control of a Fluidized Bed Polyethylene Reactor

In present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. A double active sites model for Ziegler-Natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. Hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with different...

Experimental Study of Coating in a Bottom Sprayed Fluidized Bed

Several investigations have been devoted towards understanding the coating process in fluidized beds. Most of these studies focused on spraying liquid droplets over the bed. However, due to the complexity of these systems, more investigations are still required to quantify the effect of operating conditions on the coating criteria. The present work aims at fundamentally understanding and pr...

Cluster Dynamics in a Circulating Fluidized Bed

A common hydrodynamic feature in industrial scale circulating fluidized beds is the presence of clusters. The continuous formation and destruction of clusters strongly influences particle hold-up, pressure drop, heat transfer at the wall, and mixing. In this paper fiber optic data is analyzed using discrete wavelet analysis to characterize the dynamic behavior of clusters. Five radial positions...

Fluidized Bed Processing for Multiparticulates

World wide in pharmaceutical industry, fluid bed processing technology emerged as useful application. Batch type fluid processes are using in pharmaceutical industry since 30 years. Originating in Europe, this technology gradually found its way into U.S. manufacturing facilities, beginning with the use of fluid bed dryers. The earliest fluid bed dryers were a cabinet type construction with a si...
