Abstract:

Numerous investigations have been devoted towards understanding the hydrodynamics of gas jets in fluidized beds. However, most of them address the problem from  macroscopic point of view, which does not reveal the true behavior in the jet region at the single particle level. The present work aims to understand the jet behavior from a more fundamental level, i.e. the individual particle level. A thin rectangular gas fluidized bed, constructed from acrylic glass, with a vertical jet nozzle located at the centre of the distributor was used in the work. A high speed camera with a speed up to 10,000 frames per second was used to observe the jet behavior. Analysis of large quantity of images allowed determination of solids flux, solids Velocity and solids concentration in the jet region. The model present in this work has shown better agreement with the experimental data in compare with the previous models presented in the literature.

a swot analysis of the english program of a bilingual school in iran

با توجه به جایگاه زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبانی بین المللی و با در نظر گرفتن این واقعیت که دولت ها و مسئولان آموزش و پرورش در سراسر جهان در حال حاضر احساس نیاز به ایجاد موقعیتی برای کودکان جهت یاد گیری زبان انگلیسی درسنین پایین در مدارس دو زبانه می کنند، تحقیق حاضر با استفاده از مدل swot (قوت ها، ضعف ها، فرصتها و تهدیدها) سعی در ارزیابی مدرسه ای دو زبانه در ایران را دارد. جهت انجام این تحقیق در م...

Control of a Fluidized Bed Polyethylene Reactor

In present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. A double active sites model for Ziegler-Natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. Hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with different...

Bubble formation on a single orifice in a gas solid fluidized bed using digital image analysis

Digital Image Analysis (DIA) has been employed to characterize the time evolution of a bubble injected from a single orifice into a pseudo 2-dimansional gas-solid fluidized bed. The injected bubble diameter increased with the square root of time before detachment. During bubble free flight in the bed, its diameter remains approximately constant. The center of mass of the bubble increases with t...
