Miniaturized gas–solid fluidized beds
Fluidized beds are suspensions of grains by ascending fluids in tubes, and are commonly used in industry given their high rates of mass and heat transfers between the solids and fluid. Although usually employed in large scales (tube diameter of the order of the meter), fluidized beds have a great potential in much smaller scales (order of the ...

Prediction of minimum fluidization velocity in pulsed gas-solid fluidized bed [PDF]
Abstract: Fluidized bed technology plays a vital role in petrochemistry and coal separation. To enhance fluidization stability, the flow is periodically introduced into the gas-solid fluidized bed to form a pulsed gas-solid fluidized bed. As the main fluidization parameter, the minimum fluidization velocity (umf) can reflect the change of the critical ...

Borescopy in pressurized gas‐solid fluidized beds [PDF]
A borescopic technique was used for finding the effect of pressure on the hydrodynamics of gas‐solid fluidized beds. The results showed that solids radial distribution may become more or less uniform with increasing pressure depending on the superficial gas velocity.

Hybrid two-fluid DEM simulation of gas-solid fluidized beds. [PDF]
Simulations of gas-solid fluidized beds have been performed using a hybrid simulation method, which couples the discrete element method (DEM) for particle dynamics with the averaged two-fluid (TF) continuum equations for the gas phase.

Rheology of gas–solid fluidized bed
Abstract Coal dry beneficiation with gas–solid fluidized beds belongs to dry dense medium separation. It is important for us to study the rheological behaviors of gas–solid fluidized beds. In this paper, the viscosity of fluidized beds was measured by the solid-settling experiments.

Fluidization of Gas-Solid in Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor [PDF]
The fluidization behavior of a non-reactive gas-solid in the ABFBC was studied. Experiments were conducted using laser based Particle Imaged Velocimetry (PIV) with B Geldart silica sand (diameter, Ø = 300 – 425 μm) in 2 m high cylindrical combustion chamber. The PIV was used to determine the particle velocity distribution in the combustion chamber. The
