Minimum spouting velocity of conical spouted beds

Existing correlations for predicting minimum spouting velocity in conical spouted beds have been found to give poor agreement with available literature data. A new correlation has been developed based on literature data to give much better prediction of the minimum spouting velocity for both small and pilot-scale conical-spouted beds.     

Hydrodynamics of shallow,conical spouted beds

Experiments were conducted with shallow beds, in the presence of atomizing air injected into the base, under the following conditions: Particles — urea, sulphur coated urea, polyethylene, polyformaldehyde and polystyrene; particle diameters (d_p) – 2.1 to 2.8 mm; cone angle – 60°; cylindrical bed diameter (D) – 0.24 and 0.45 m; bed height (H) – 0.24 to 0.40 m; orifice diameter (d_i) – 21 to 35 mm; main spouting air (Q_s) ≤ 37 L(actual)/s; atomizing air (Q_a) ≤ 0.87 L(actual)/s. The minimum spouting velocity is well represented by: U_ms = 13.5 (2gH)^0.5 (d_p/D')^1.17 (D'_i/D')^0.372 (H/D')^?0.148 [(τ_p - τ)/τ]^0.289 where D' and D'_i denote the modified column and orifice diameter, respectively. Q_a, which affects D'_i, significantly influenced the air velocity in the spout, but not the pressure profiles in the annulus. Morgan and Littman's (1980) correlation could be adapted to predict the experimental pressure profiles in the annulus.     

Determination of Minimum Spouting Velocities in Conical Spouted Beds

Minimum spouting velocities in conical spouted beds have been obtained from pressure drops versus the superficial gas velocity curves, based on both increasing and decreasing the superficial gas velocity. It has been shown that the minimum spouting velocity from decreasing the superficial gas velocity is lower than from increasing the superficial gas velocity in most cases. This phenomenon is similar to that in conventional spouted beds and different from the early works. The experimental results also showed that there isn't significant difference in the pressure drop and U_ms under identical operating conditions between semi‐circular and circular conical spouted beds, and the same U_ms can be obtained from absolute pressure drops at any position above the gas inlet. The U_ms is found to increase with increasing the cone angle and static bed height, as well as the gas inlet diameter to a less extent.     

Prediction of minimum velocity and minimum bed pressure drop for gas-solid fluidization in conical conduits

Experimental investigations have been carried out for spherical and non-spherical particles using beds comprised of single-sized particles and mixtures in the size and particle density ranges of 439 to 1524 μm and 1303 to 4948 kg/m³, respectively. Five conical fluidizers with varying apex angles of 8.86, 14.77, 19.60, 32.0 and 43.2 degrees were used. Experimental values of minimum velocity and bed pressure drop with air as the fluidizing medium have been compared with their respective values obtained from different models available in the literature. Deviations for each chosen model have been presented.     

Prediction of pressure drop and minimum spouting velocity in draft tube conical spouted beds using genetic programming approach

The smart method of genetic programming (GP) is used to predict the operating pressure drop (ΔP_s) and the minimum spouting velocity u_ms for conical spouted beds (CSBs) equipped with nonporous draft tubes. Accordingly, six dimensionless variables have been taken as model inputs, including crucial parameters associated with the bed and tube geometric and operating conditions. Two general correlations comprising almost all constitutive and operating variables have been derived for the first time by the GP approach. Both ΔP_s and u_ms values predicted by the GP technique are in a fair agreement with the values corresponding to the experiments, with average absolute relative errors (AARE) of 18.9 and 19.9 %, respectively. The results of the proposed correlations show that the GP method is a powerful tool to make reasonable estimates.     

Minimum spouting velocity under vacuum and high temperature in conical spouted beds

A study has been carried out on spouting performance in conical spouted beds at high temperatures and under vacuum by using materials of different textures, densities and particle diameters. The applicability of existing correlations for determining the minimum spouting velocity has been checked and, based on a statistical analysis to assess the influence of the dimensionless modulus, a new one has been proposed for the prediction of the minimum spouting velocity under vacuum and at high temperatures. This correlation provides good predictions in the pyrolysis of tyres under vacuum.     

Experimental investigation of solid particles flow in a conical spouted bed using radioactive particle tracking

Solid particles flow in a conical spouted bed is characterized by radioactive particle tracking. The influence of operating conditions on key parameters of this flow is evaluated and discussed: the morphology of the solid bed is not strongly influenced by the forces exerted by the gas on the solid particles, but rather by geometrical considerations; the particles spend approximately 8% of their time in the spout in all experiments; it is the force exerted on the solid particles by the gas that directly controls the volumetric flow rate between adjacent regions, and not the amount of particles in the bed; as U/U_ms increases, the volume of solid particles in the annulus decreases, the volume of solid particles in the fountain increases and the volume of solid particles in the spout remains constant. Correlations to predict key flow parameters as functions of operating conditions are also established and discussed. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 26–37, 2016

Hydrodynamics of a gas-driven gas-liquid-solid spouted bed with a draft tube

A cylindrical gas-liquid-solid spouted bed, driven exclusively by gas flow, has been developed with a high potential for use in biochemical processes, such as a biological wastewater treatment. A plexiglass column with a 152 mm inner diameter was used in combination with a 53 mm inner diameter plexiglass draft tube. Three particle types were studied with densities ranging from 1044 kg/m³-1485 kg/m³ and average particle sizes ranging from 0.7-2.5 mm. Four flow regimes were observed when increasing the gas velocity, including fixed bed, semispouted bed, full spouted bed, and internal circulating fluidized bed. The transition gas velocities between those regimes were experimentally measured and termed as minimum spouting velocity, full spouting velocity, and minimum circulating velocity, respectively. A measurement of the downward particle flux in the annulus was used to identify the minimum spouting velocity, while the particle velocity and dense phase retraction in the annulus were monitored for the full spouting and minimum circulating velocities. All regime transition velocities increased with more dense particles and longer draft tubes. The minimum spouting velocity and full spouting velocity were not affected when varying the nozzle-tube gap, while the minimum circulating velocity increased with longer nozzle-tube gaps. Experiments without a draft tube were carried, though the spouting stability was significantly reduced without the draft tube.     

Spoutable bed height and pressure fluctuation of a novel annular spouted bed with V-shaped deflector

A novel annular spouted bed consisting of two homocentric upright cylinders with different diameters was developed. The nozzles and V-shaped deflectors were located in the bottom of annular space between the inner and outer cylinders. The effects of hold-up, bed material, total flowrate and nozzle structure on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the novel annular spouted bed were investigated. The results show that there exist three different zones for the particle flow in the annular spouted bed: the moving packed zone, the dense-phase spouted fluidizing zone and the dilute-phase zone. With the increase of hold-ups, the height of the dense-phase spouted fluidizing zone tends to increase in the annular spouted bed, while the moving packed zone is only limited within the V-shaped deflectors. The maximum spoutable amount for high air flowrate is larger than that for low air flowrate. Both the spoutable bed height and the local mean relative pressure for high air flowrate are higher than those for low air flowrate at the same hold-ups of particles. The nozzle structure also has important effects on the spoutable bed height and the local relative pressure in the annular spouted bed.     

Comparison of numerical simulations and experiments in conical gas-solid spouted bed

Flowbehavior of gas and particles in conical spouted beds is experimentally studied and simulated using the twofluid gas-solid model with the kinetic theory of granular flow. The bed pressure drop and fountain height are measured in a conical spouted bed of 100mmI.D. at different gas velocities. The simulation results are compared with measurements of bed pressure drop and fountain height. The comparison shows that the drag coefficient model used in cylindrical beds under-predicted bed pressure drop and fountain height in conical spouted beds due to the partial weight of particles supported by the inclined side walls. It is found that the numerical results using the drag coefficient model proposed based on the conical spouted bed in this study are in good agreement with experimental data. The present study provides a useful basis for further works on the CFD simulation of conical spouted bed.     

A general model for pressure drop prediction across a rotating packed bed

Although rotating beds show promise for intensified separations, the fundamentals of their hydrodynamics are still poorly understood. In many operating conditions, pressure drop in an irrigated bed can be considerably lower than that across a dry bed. Previously published correlations don’t provide good prediction of these phenomena. In this research, a semi-empirical correlation is developed to predict the pressure drop across the rotating packed beds. The results show the agreement of predicted pressure drop with the experimental data is acceptable. This model can also predict the pressure drop unexpected phenomena of higher pressure drop in dry beds than in wet beds.     

错流旋转填料床气相压降特性

旋转填料床的气相压降是旋转填料床应用和设计的一项重要指标。在气液两相错流流动条件下,利用空气-水系统对错流旋转填充床的气相压降进行分段模型化和实验研究。按照错流旋转填料床气体流动的路径将气相压降分为进口压降、填料层压降、集气段旋转动能转化压降和出气段压降。推导出压降与操作工况的关联式,其计算值与实测值吻合较好。实验表明错流旋转填料床的气相总压降与气体流量、旋转床转速、液体流量有关。在高转速和小气量的条件下,气相压降随气量增大先下降后上升;其他情况随气量增大而上升。错流旋转填料床气相压降随转速上升而下降,在小气量情况下转速对气相压降有明显影响。气相压降随进液量的增大而增大,当旋转填料床在低转速时进液量对气相压降有明显影响。     

Multi-dimensional model of a spouted bed

A multi-dimensional model is developed to describe the fluid and particle dynamic behaviour of spouted beds. The position of the spout-annulus interface is determined by a variational analysis. Two-fluid equations are used to represent gas and solids motions in the spout while the vector Ergun equation and soil mechanics equations are employed to describe, respectively, gas and solids behaviour in the annulus. Using numerical finite difference methods, the set of governing equations is solved subject to carefully chosen boundary conditions. The model predictions of key hydrodynamic characteristics are in reasonable agreement with available measured data selected from the literature to represent a wide range of experimental conditions.     

Oxygen-steam gasification of coals in a spouted bed

Char‐formation kinetics in the pyrolysis of sawdust in a conical spouted bed reactor

Both the generation of a microporous structure and char formation kinetics have been studied in the pyrolysis of sawdust of Pinus insignis in a conical spouted bed reactor, in the range 350–700 °C. The BET surface area (representative of the physical evolution of the solid) and the C/H ratio of the solid (representative of the chemical structural change) have been taken as conversion indices. From the measurement of the C/H ratio of the solid (the more significant variable), it has been determined that the reaction order is 0.5 and that the kinetic constant is between 0.18 min⁻¹ at 350 °C and 1.26 min⁻¹ at 700 °C. However the value of the constant is almost independent of temperature, at 1 min⁻¹ in the range 500–700 °C. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry
