When transplanting the gas–solid fluidized bed technology to offshore floating platform, flow characteristics in will be affected by rolling of platform. In this paper, field, especially dynamic variation particles, a two-dimensional bed, is investigated using numerical simulation method. The results show that when an inclined position, gas/particle phases gather upper/lower wall region bed. Du...

A large number of bubbles generated by the air agitation device in an external melting ice storage system can cause disturbance ice–water mixture, which enhance heat transfer and contribute to reduction energy consumption. The structural design optimization is key issue for savings. In this study, influence different orifice spacings diameters on distribution gas–liquid flow field, gas holdup, ...

Solids holdup as one of the main parameters in characterizing performance fluidized bed reactors is widely concerned. With its development and improvement, visualization technology has been applied fluidization because little disturbance to flow. In this study, four types particles with different properties are tested a narrow rectangular equipped high-speed video camera. Calibration curves the...

Oxygen gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient was measured in a gas-induced pulsating flow bubble column. Pulsating amplitude had a great influence on kla under pulsating state of equal base flow and pulsating flow, which was enhanced up to 30 % compared with that under steady state; however, it had a negative effect on mass transfer under a fixed low base flow. It was also found that kla had a n...

This paper investigates the extent of the holdup underinvestment problem in a buyer-seller relationship in which the seller has private information about his alternative trading opportunities. Theory predicts that, compared with a situation in which outside options are publicly observed, the seller obtains an informational rent while the buyer bears an informational loss. As a result the seller...
