Numerical study of heat transfer in fluidized bed dryers by volume of fluid method
Authors
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is numerical modeling of temperature variation of phases in a two phase regime in fluidized bed dryers including particles belonging to Group D of geldart classification. The mass transfer between phases is not taken into consideration in this modeling which has been assumed in three- dimensional, unsteady, and two-phase regime.To verify the modeling we consider the domain so that we will be able to compare the results with the experimental study has done by khorshidi et al [1]. At first we choose the governing equations according to problem physics and solving method. Then by designing an appropriate grid, we solved the governing equation by the volume of fluid (VOF) method, a suitable method to solve multi-phase problems; finally we obtained thermal variations of gas and solid phase, the contours of temperature, pressure, and volume fraction.The comparison of numerical and experimental study results revealed that there was an appropriate adaptation between them. Also, the temperature contours proved that perfect mixing hypothesis that has been introduced by some researchers is a true one and has adaptation with this research results.

Accurate modeling of fluidization and heat transfer phenomena in gas-solid fluidized beds is not solely dependent on the particular selected numerical model and involved algorithms. In fact, choosing the right model for each specific operating condition, the correct implementation of each model, and the right choice of parameters and boundary conditions, determine the accuracy of the results i...

Numerical Calculation of Wall - to - Bed Heat - Transfer Coefficients in Gas - Fluidized Beds
A computer model for a hot gas-fluidized bed has been developed. The theoretical description is based on a two-fluid model ( TFM) approach in which both phases are considered to be continuous and fully interpenetrating. Local wall-to-bed heattransfer coefficients have been calculated by the simultaneous solution of the TFM conservation of mass, momentum and thermal energy equations. Preliminary...

In this paper, we have used a control volume method to investigate the problem of a fully coupled fluid flow with heat transfer in a rectangular domain with slip wall boundary conditions. We have used this method to solve the governing equations and thereby to compute the convective and diffusive fluxes at the cell faces of the control volumes considered around the grid points of computational ...
full textBed 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...
