Hydrodynamic Studies of Biomass in a Cold Model Fluidized Bed Gasifier Using Matlab Coding, a Mathematical Modeling Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Effects of different system parameters on the hydrodynamic behavior of a cold-model fluidized bed gasifier have been studied. Correlations developed for the Equivalence Ratio and Euler’s number on the basis of regression analysis have been validated by using the MATLAB coding. Comparison of calculated values of Equivalence ratio and Euler number against the experimentally observed values gives the standard deviations of 1.89 and 10.8 respectively indicating a very good approximation. Chi-square (ξ) test gives 0.0002 and 18685.04 for Equivalence Ratio and Euler’s number respectively implying the correlation fit to be satisfactory and suitable over a wide range of parameters for the industrial uses. Key-words: Fluidized bed Gasifier, Equivalence ratio, Euler’s number, Regression analysis, MATLAB coding

Application of Scaling-Law and CFD Modeling to Hydrodynamics of Circulating Biomass Fluidized Bed Gasifier
Abstract: Two modeling approaches, the scaling-law and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) approaches, are presented in this paper. To save on experimental cost of the pilot plant, the scaling-law approach as a low-computational-cost method was adopted and a small scale column operating under ambient temperature and pressure was built. A series of laboratory tests and computer simulations were c...
متن کاملTheoretical and Experimental Study of Potato Shoot Gasification in Fluidized- and Fixed-Bed Gasifier
A bench-scale updraft gasifier was used as a fluidized- and fixed-bed gasification unit in three modes (fluidized-bed at equivalence ratios (ER) =0.2 and 0.25, and a mode in fixed-bed). The experiments were done in five different temperatures (650, 700, 750, 800 and 850oC). To obtain the required data to develop a thermodynamic equilibrium model, the proximate and ultimate analysis w...
متن کاملEffect of Novel Swirl Distributor Plate on Hydrodynamics of Fluidized Bed Gasifier
The main advantage of a fluidized bed is its capability in excellent gas-fuel mixing. However, due to the lacks of gas radial momentum, its lateral mixing of gas-solid is not adequate. Therefore, this research is focused on fluidized bed hydrodynamics enhancement using the modified gas distributor plate design. For getting an optimum fluidized bed hydrodynamics prediction, three different class...

−− With the purpose of contributing to the energetic valuation of the solid wastes generated by the Colombian agricultural industry, a practical methodology for the design of a fluidized bed gasifier for rice husk on pilot scale was developed. The gasifier equipment, made up of a reaction chamber of 0.3 m of internal diameter and 3 m of overall height, was designed from theoretical and experime...
متن کاملTwo Phase Modeling of Char Combustion in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor Using ASPEN PLUS
In this paper, combustion of char in the riser of circulating fluidized bed was modeled using ASPEN PLUS. Since physical and chemical phenomena are involved in the process, the model integrates the two-phase hydrodynamic sub-model with the reaction sub-model derived from the literature. In the proposed model, the fluidized bed is divided into several sections and the behavior of each section wa...
