Voidage Wave Instability in a Vibrated Liquid-Fluidized Bed

Symmetrically periodic segregation in a vertically vibrated binary granular bed

Periodic segregation behaviors in fine mixtures of copper and alumina particles, including both percolation and eruption stages, are experimentally investigated by varying the ambient air pressure and vibrational acceleration. For the cases with moderate air pressure, the heaping profile of the granular bed keeps symmetrical in the whole periodic segregation. The symmetrical shape of the upper ...

Granular Temperature under Segregation in a Vibrated Granular Bed

The dominant mechanism affecting the flow behavior of granular materials is the random motions of particles resulted from the interactive collisions between particles. The velocity fluctuations induce the segregation in granular flows. The different physical properties of granular material were used to investigate the segregation in a vibrated granular bed in this paper. The image processing te...

Emission characteristics of co-combustion of sewage sludge with olive cake and lignite coal in a circulating fluidized bed.

In this study, a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) of 125 mm diameter and 1800mm height was used to find the combustion characteristics of sewage sludge (SS) produced in Turkey. Sludge + olive cake, and sludge + lignite coal mixtures were burned separately. Various sludge-to-lignite coal and sludge-to-olive cake ratios (5/95, 10/90, 15/85, 20/80) were tried. On-line concentrations of major compon...

Segregation patterns of an equidensity TiO2 ternary mixture in a conical fluidized bed: CFD and experimental study

In this study, an Eulerian-Eulerian multi-fluid model (MFM) was used to simulate the segregation pattern of a conical fluidized bed containing ternary mixtures of equidensity TiO2‌ particles. Experimental 'freeze–sieving' method was employed to determine the axial mass fraction profiles of the different-sized particles, and validate the simulation results. The profiles of mass fraction for larg...
