超细颗粒聚团流化的临界流化速度

在内径50 mm的流化床实验台上,测量SiO_2、Al_2O_3和TiO_2 3种超细颗粒原生粒径从30 nm增加到5μm的临界流化速度(Umf),并以Geldart A类颗粒(粒径45μm)为参照。结果表明:3种超细颗粒的Umf随粒径的变化规律一致,随原生粒径从30 nm增加到5μm,Umf逐渐增大;当颗粒粒径增加到45μm,Umf大幅度减小,其与原生粒径为30和200 nm时接近。对于不同材料,Umf由大至小的顺序依次为TiO_2、Al_2O_3、SiO_2。粉体安息角测量表明:对于同种材料颗粒,原生粒径对超细颗粒的Umf和安息角的影响规律一致,即5μm超细颗粒的安息角最大。聚团尺寸模型计算表明:稳定流化时,聚团尺寸随原生粒径的变化趋势以及随不同材料的变化趋势均与Umf的变化趋势一致。研究结果为超细颗粒流化临界速度预测研究奠定了基础。

粒径及声场对SiO2超细颗粒流化行为的影响

采用内径为56 mm的玻璃管流化床,考察了平均粒径分别为5~10 nm(1#), 0.5 mm(2#)及10 mm(3#)的SiO2超细颗粒在无声场及声场存在下的流化行为. 无声场时,1#和2#颗粒可在较高的气速下形成稳定聚团,单位质量颗粒团间作用力与原生颗粒相比显著下降,因而可实现稳定的聚团流化,3#颗粒因颗粒间粘性力较大,无法实现稳定流化. 40~60 Hz的声场对3种超细颗粒的流化行为均可起到一定的改善作用,在此频率范围外,声场的作用不明显. 提高声压级,可以使1#和2#颗粒团发生一定程度的破碎,聚团尺寸减小,最小流化速度降低. 在实验范围内,添加声场无法使3#颗粒实现稳定流化.

The effect of column diameter and bed height on minimum fluidization velocity

Experiments show that the minimum fluidization velocity of particles increases as the diameter of the fluidization column is reduced, or if the height of the bed is increased. These trends are shown to be due to the influence of the wall. A new, semicorrelated model is proposed, which incorporates Janssen's wall effects in the calculation of the minimum fluidization velocity. The wall friction opposes not only the bed weight but also the drag force acting on the particles during fluidization. The enhanced wall friction leads to an increase in the minimum fluidization velocity. The model predictions compare favorably to existing correlations and experimental data. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010

Prediction of minimum fluidization velocity for vibrated fluidized bed

The prediction of minimum fluidization velocity for vibrated fluidized bed was performed. The Geldart group A and C particles were used as the fluidizing particles. The method based on Ergun equation was used to predict the minimum fluidization velocity. The calculated results were compared with the experimental data.The calculated results of minimum fluidization velocity are in good agreement with experimental data for Geldart group A particles. For group C particles, the difference between the calculated results and experimental data is large because of the formation of agglomerates. In this case, the determination of agglomerate diameter is considered to be necessary to predict the minimum fluidization velocity.     

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.     

Minimum fluidization velocity at elevated temperature in tapered fluidized bed

Very little data of minimum fluidization velocity at elevated temperatures of tapered bed are available in the literature. This study was undertaken to provide some data under elevated temperature conditions in tapered bed. Data on minimum fluidization velocity have been obtained experimentally for temperature up to 800 °C in case of 0.5 mm diameter of sand particles and up to 500 °C in case of 1 mm diameter of glass beads in tapered bed. An equation valid for the bed has been developed in terms of Archimedes number and Reynolds number. The experimental values for minimum fluidization velocity at elevated temperatures have been compared with the calculated values obtained from present equation and from earlier equations developed by other authors for ambient conditions in conventional (cylindrical) bed and tapered bed. Fairly good agreement was found to exist between the calculated (from present equation) and the experimental values.     

Bubbling fluidization of biomass and sand binary mixtures: Minimum fluidization velocity and particle segregation

Understanding the minimum fluidization velocity of biomass and sand mixtures is fundamental to ensuring the optimal performance of fluidized beds in a thermo-conversional process, such as fast pyrolysis. The present work aimed to determine the minimum fluidization velocity of binary mixtures using the characteristic diagram of pressure drop in the bed and to develop an experimental correlation for the minimum fluidization velocity of biomass and sand mixtures. Three types of biomass (sweet sorghum bagasse, waste tobacco and soybean hulls) and four sands with different sizes were investigated. The results showed that the fluid dynamic behavior of binary mixtures is directly related to the biomass size and shape. For sweet sorghum bagasse (more irregular particles), higher biomass percentages led to lower minimum fluidization velocities, which differed from the behaviors observed for waste tobacco and soybean hulls. The diameter ratio inert/biomass effectively influenced the segregation, with a higher ratio causing more pronounced bed segregation. A good fluidization regime (with little segregation) for biomass and sand mixtures was obtained using the smallest sand (d₅₀ = 0.35). Considering the studied operating conditions, the proposed correlation can be used satisfactorily to predict the minimum fluidization velocities for mixtures of biomass and sand in fluidized beds.     

Minimum fluidization velocity and gas holdup in gas–liquid–solid fluidized bed reactors

Experiments were performed to study the hydrodynamics of a cocurrent three‐phase fluidized bed with liquid as continuous phase. Based on the 209 experimental data (with four liquid systems and five different particles) along with 115 literature data from six different sources on minimum fluidization velocity, a unique correlation for the estimation of minimum fluidization velocity in two‐phase (u_g = 0) as well as in three‐phase systems is developed. A data bank consisting of 1420 experimental measurements for the fractional gas phase holdup data with a wide range of variables is used for developing empirical correlations. Separate correlations are developed for two flow regimes observed in this present work. The proposed correlations are more accurate and simpler to use. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry
