摇摆流化床的气固流动特性

采用二维床及D类玻璃珠颗粒,在表观气速U_g=0.267~0.978 m/s、摇摆幅值Θ=5°~15°、摇摆周期T=8~20 s的实验条件下,对摇摆流化床内气固流动过程及气体通过流化床的时均总压降进行了研究,并通过与常规直立床和倾斜床进行对比,分析了床体摇摆对气固流动的影响。结果表明,在平均角速度ω_ave>2(°)/s的条件下,当初始装料量和表观气速相同时,气体通过摇摆流化床的时均总压降低于直立床,高于相同最大倾角时的倾斜床;惯性力所产生的压降在0.15 kPa以下,其对床层压降的影响较小,床体倾斜导致气体向边壁区域聚集是影响摇摆流化床内气固流动特性的主要因素,由此导致床内存在固定床和下行移动床状态的非流化区域,使得处于流化区域的颗粒量减少,同时还降低了流化床层在竖直方向的静压。非流化区域的存在还会造成流化区域的气速高于直立床表观气速,两者表观气速之比为1.04~1.49。     

Experimental investigation of particle contact time at the wall of gas fluidized beds

The contact time of particles at the walls of gas fluidized beds has been studied using a radioactive particle tracking technique to monitor the position of a radioactive tracer. The solids used were sand or FCC particles fluidized by air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure at various superficial velocities, covering both bubbling and turbulent regimes of fluidization. Based on the analysis of tracer positions, the motion of individual particles near the walls of the fluidized bed was studied. The contact time, contact distance and contact frequency of the particles at the wall were evaluated from these experimental data. It was found that in a bed of sand particles, the mean wall contact time of the fluidized bed of sand particles decreases by increasing the gas velocity in the bubbling and increases in the turbulent fluidization. In other words, the particle-wall contact time is minimum at the onset of turbulent fluidization in the bed of sand particles. However, the mean wall contact time is almost constant in both regimes of fluidization in the bed of FCC particles. All the existing models in the literature predict a decreasing contact time when the gas velocity in the bed is increased. It was also shown that the contact distance increases monotonously by increasing the gas velocity in the bed of sand particles, while it is almost constant for the bed of FCC particles. Contact frequency has a trend similar to that of the contact time for both sand and FCC particles.

Detection of the minimum gas velocity region using Gaussian spectral pressure distribution in a gas-solid fluidized bed

The undesired phenomenon of partial or complete defluidizing can occur in industrial applications involving fluidized beds. That could be prevented by increasing the gas velocity, provided an adequate observation of changes in the hydrodynamic of the fluidized bed is detected early enough. Since the value of gas velocity on defluidization of bed is near the gas velocity at minimum fluidization condition, it is very important to use a methodology that can promptly detect the minimum fluidization velocity region, so that shutting down the process can be avoided. The literature shows that the methods to detect the region of such a velocity are limited, and in practice, the traditional method for determination of minimum fluidization velocity (pressure drop across the bed versus superficial gas velocity) is still the most used. In the present work, a methodology is proposed to detect the region where the minimum velocity takes place in a gas-solid fluidized bed, based on the spectral analysis of pressure fluctuation measurements using a Gaussian distribution curve. Results indicate that the method is satisfactory, and it could be used as a more practical indicator of the region where the defluidization phenomenon occurs.

Mixing and circulation in fluidized beds of flour

The mixing and bulk circulation characteristics of a fluidized bed of wheat flour having a relatively high aspect ratio were determined with a 6 in. diam. column fitted with a slowly revolving paddle just above the gas distributor. In this system the bulk of the solids moved down the column in stick-slip flow which was readily observed because of the appearance of relatively stable horizontal cracks in the bed. At lower gas velocities the behavior of the system was characterized by zone fluidization which led to erratic and unreproducible mixing performance. Operation at greater than twice the minimum fluidization velocity overcame this problem and provided consistent mixing. An increase in gas velocity increased the bulk circulation rate and reduced the batch mixing time.The solids next to the wall of the column seemed to move at the same rate as the core of the bed, at least at lower gas velocities. The downward velocity of these solids was directly proportional to gas velocity and to bed height and a complex function of flour moisture content. The velocity also depended on vertical position but not on the speed of the rotating paddle.Adding an anti-agglomerant promoted smooth fluidization and reduced the minimum fluidization velocity, and for the same relative gas velocity it increased the bulk circulation rate and reduced the batch mixing time.

Experimental study on fluidization of fine powders in rotating drums with various wall friction and baffled rotating drums

Fine powders were found to be fluidized in a rotating drum by internal cycling gas by the drum rotation. It is essentially a fluidized bed without requiring any external fluidizing gas. Such a rotating drum can be regarded as a new gasless fluidized bed for fine powders in contrast to a traditional fluidized bed, possibly leading to a considerable amount of energy savings. In addition, the fluidization quality of fine powders was found to be further improved with the assistance of drum rotation because of the shearing movement among particles that eliminates channeling and cracks and possibly also breaks agglomerates. Five regimes were identified in the rotating drum including slipping, avalanching-sliding, aerated, fluidization and re-compacted regimes. It was also found that drum wall friction plays an important role to fluidize fine powders because the friction carries particles to the freeboard, leading to gas cycling that fluidizes the powders. As well, three types of specially designed baffles were utilized to promote powder fluidization in rotating drums. These baffles effectively bring an early onset of all the regimes in rotating drums by reducing powder-wall slipping, carrying particles and bringing additional gas to the powders.

The influence of bed moisture on fluidization characteristics of fine powders

The effect of bed moisture on fluidization characteristics of fine powders has been studied. Beds of glass microspheres and catalytic particles have been tested at variable water content and gas velocity up to the minimum for bubbling. Measurements include bed permeability, settled and fluidized bed voidages.Results indicate that the sensitivity to moisture drastically changes from porous to non-porous materials. There are also differences among porous materials with regard to the effect of water content on minimum velocity for fluidization and for bubbling, and on voidage—velocity relationship in the bubble-free range of fluidization.     

Characterization of fluidization regime in circulating fluidized bed reactor with high solid particle concentration using computational fluid dynamics

The hydrodynamics inside a high solid particle concentration circulating fluidized bed reactor was investigated using computational fluid dynamics simulation. Compared to a low solid particle reactor, all the conventional fluidization regimes were observed. In addition, two unconventional fluidization regimes, circulating-turbulent and dense suspension bypassing regimes, were found with only primary gas injection. The circulating-turbulent fluidization regime showed uniformly dense solid particle distribution in all the system directions, while the dense suspension bypassing fluidization regime exhibited the flow of solid particles at only one side system wall. Then, comprehensive fluidization regime clarification and mapping were evaluated using in-depth system parameters. In the circulating-turbulent fluidization regime, the total granular temperature was low compared to the adjacent fluidization regimes. In the dense suspension bypassing fluidization regime, the highest total granular temperature was obtained. The circulating-turbulent and dense suspension bypassing fluidization regimes are suitable for sorption and transportation applications, respectively.

Onset of an innovative gasless fluidized bed—comparative study on the fluidization of fine powders in a rotating drum and a traditional fluidized bed

Geldart group C powders were found to be fluidized in rotating drums without requiring any external fluidizing gas. As a result, a rotating drum was proposed as a new gasless fluidized bed in contrast to a traditional fluidized bed, leading to a considerable amount of energy savings. In addition, the fluidization qualities of a series of Geldart group C powders were found to be further improved with the assistance of drum rotation because of the shearing movement among particles that eliminates channeling and cracks and possibly also breaks agglomerates. There is potential for the new gasless fluidized bed to replace some traditional fluidized beds where the fluidizing gas is not used as a reactant.In the gasless fluidized bed, a boundary layer of compacted powder adjacent to the drum wall was observed. The powder in this layer is carried up to the freeboard and then falls back to the powder bed, forming a powder circulation in the drum. The circulating powder leads to a circulation of internal gas in the drum, which essentially acts as fluidizing gas to realize the fluidization of Geldart C powders in the drum. In contrast to the fluidization of Geldart C powders, Geldart groups B and D powders show cascading and cataracting motions instead in the rotating drum due to their requirement of higher fluidization gas velocities. Geldart group A powders experience a transition of powder behavior between Geldart group B–D powders and C powders.
