Bubble formation in dense fluidized beds
Physics of Fluids A: Fluid Dynamics, 1991It has been known for a long time that fluidized beds of solid powder in gas may become unstable for certain values of relative and mass fraction, and that this behavior is important in determining the mixing properties of the bed. Several different mechanisms have been proposed for this instability, but no broad consensus is available on which are the

The expansion of bubbling fluidised beds
Powder Technology, 1968Abstract The expansion of freely bubbling gas fluidised beds has been investigated experimentally in a 12-in. diameter bed and the influence of bed depth, gas velocity, particle size and particle-size distribution has been studied. Results are compared with theoretical predictions and new light is thrown on the assumptions inherent in the two-phase ...

Mechanistic Prediction of Bubble Properties in Freely-Bubbling Fluidised Beds
1980The approach developed by Nguyen et al.(1975) for predicting bubble behaviour in beds of Geldart’s (1973) Group B particles has been modified to enable application to beds of larger scale. The predictions are generally in agreement with the measurements of Werther (1974), but some discrepancy arises from non-uniform bubble formation caused by solids ...

Combustion of polymer pellets in a bubbling fluidised bed
Combustion and Flame, 2011Abstract Single pellets (≈3 mm diameter) of high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been burned in an electrically heated bed of silica sand, fluidised by air or mixtures of N2 and O2 at atmospheric pressure. During the combustion of single pellets, measurements were made of the concentrations of CO and CO2 in the off-gas, enabling burnout-times to be ...

Solids motion in bubbling gas fluidised beds
Chemical Engineering Science, 2000Abstract Gas fluidised beds are widely employed in the chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, and pharmaceutical industries. Solids mixing in such devices plays a central role in controlling product quality and productivity. This paper presents some observations of particle motion in 3-D gas fluidised beds operated in the bubbling mode and at ...

An x-ray study of bubbles in fluidised beds
Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 1997Synopsis Gas-fluidised beds are characterised by the formation of bubbles which rise through them and determine the pattern of particle movement and gas flow within. The basic nature and shape of the bubbles are of interest not only in predicting the overall behaviour of the bed (from a gas-solids contacting point of view, for example) but also when ...

The combustion of polymer pellets in a bubbling fluidised bed
Fuel, 2006Abstract Wastes burned in incinerators usually contain polymers, whose combustion can be associated with noxious emissions, unless the conditions are properly selected. This paper investigates how polymers burn in a fluidised bed; in fact, the combustion of a number of polymers, including several types of polyethylene, polystyrene and a polyamide ...

On bubble flow in liquids and fluidised beds
Chemical Engineering Science, 1966Abstract An illustration of Nicklin's conclusions for two-phase flow is given, and application of these conclusions is made to the two-phase theory of fluidised beds. Some expressions previously derived for fluidised beds are believed now to require re-consideration.

Modelling of bubbling fluidised bed coal gasifiers
Fuel, 1999A previous numerical model of fluidised-bed coal gasifiers has been further improved to incorporate an overall energy balance. The improved model has been used to simulate the performance of bubbling fluidised-bed coal gasifiers of different scales.
