Cluster Dynamics in a Circulating Fluidized Bed
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 at three different axial locations under five different operating were analyzed using discrete wavelets. Results are summarized with respect to cluster size and frequency.

In this research, a cold model of internally circulating fluidized bed is investigated. The aim is to find the effects of some of the operating parameters on the performance of the reactor. Experiments were carried out in a glass column (30 mm i.d. and 25 cm height) with a centrally located draft tube (11 mm i.d. and 5 or 7 cm height). The bed was loaded with white silica particles (dp = 0.15 -...

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...
