Applicability of the spouting regime for drying of biomass wastes in conical spouted beds with a draft tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
The operating conditions in spouted bed regime of uniform beds consisting of different biomass wastes dry and wet have been studied to determine the applicability of conical spouted beds with a draft tube in the drying of biomass wastes. This experimental study has been carried out at room temperature and the effect of the solid humidity on the stability of beds of biomass wastes has been determined.

Study of Pressure Drop in the 2D Spouted Bed with Conical Base of Binary Particle Mixtures: Effects of Particle Size and Density
In this study, the pressure drop for the binary mixtures of particles differing in size and density in a pseudo-2D spouted bed was experimentally studied. A binary mixture of solid particles including sand, Gypsum, and polyurethane was used in the experimental setup. Effects of static bed height, cone angle, particles diameter, and a particles weight fraction on the bed pressure drop were e...
متن کاملThe Effect of Interparticle Cohesive Forces on the Fluid Flow Simulation in Spout-fluid Beds
As reflected in the literature, solid-fluid flow characteristics in spouted beds can vary widely when particles are coated by a suspension. This work is aimed at describing the effect of interparticle forces on airflow distribution in conical spouted beds of inert particles coated by Eucalyptus black liquor. The simulator developed earlier is modified to incorporate this effect. Two corrective ...
متن کاملExperimental analysis and visualization of spatiotemporal patterns in spouted fluidized beds.
A numerical characterization based on experimental data of the spouting regime in a two-dimensional fluidized bed is presented. The aspect ratio of the bed allowed for good visualization of the spouting and solids circulation as the spouting jet gas velocity was varied to highlight the visited bifurcation sequence. Digital video sequences were recorded and then preprocessed for numerical analys...

This article presents an investigation of the potential of spray and spouted bed technology for the production of dried extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis Linné, popularly known as rosemary. The extractive solution was characterized by loss on drying, extractable matter and total phenolic and flavonoid compounds (chemical markers). The product was characterized by determination of loss on dryin...
متن کاملHydrodynamics And Heat Transfer Characteristics Of Draft Tube Spouted Bed Roasting Of Groundnuts (Arachis Hypogeae)
The hydrodynamic characteristics of flow regime were studied employing different draft tubes during the spouted bed roasting of groundnuts and the dimensionless parameters were employed for predicting the flow regime. The estimated Reynolds's number (Re) under the turbulent convection regime was ≈ 8399. The size of the draft tubes employed ranged from 0.175 to 0.375 m length and 0.065 m diamete...
