Voidage distribution around bubbles in a fluidized bed: Influence on throughflow

Voidage Wave Instability in a Vibrated Liquid-Fluidized Bed

X-ray tomography of a fluidized bed Effect of pressure and fines on bubbles in a fluidized bed

Using a fast X-ray tomography setup measurements have been done on a 25 cm diameter f luidized bed of Geldart B pow^der and a 24 cm bed of Geldart A powder. The average bubble sizes have been determined over a measurement period of 60 seconds. The resolution of this setup is about 4.5 m m per pixel at a rate of 250 reconstructions per second. I t is possible to detect bubbles as small as 2.5 cm...

The Effect of Vibration on Bed Voidage Behaviors in Fluidized Beds with Large Particles

The effects of vibration parameters, operating conditions and material properties on bed voidage were investigated using an optical fiber probe approach in a vibrating fluidized bed with a diameter of 148 mm. Variables studied included frequency (0-282 s), amplitude (0 mm-1 mm), bed height (0.1 m-0.4 m) as well as four kinds of particles (belonging to Geldart's B and D groups). The axial and ra...

Bed Voidage and Heat Transfer in Non-Newtonian Liquid-Solid Fluidized Bed

The presence of particles in liquid-solid fluidized beds enhances the bed heat transfer, because the movement of the particles leads to an increased turbulence in the system. Moreover, the violent movement of the particles has a positive effect on fouling of the heat transfer surface. The aim of this investigation was to perform systematic measurements of bed voidage and heat transfer coeff...
