流化床-提升管耦合反应器内固含率的轴向分布及流动发展

在耦合流化床反应器大型冷模实验装置上,考察了不同表观气速下FCC颗粒在耦合流化床内截面平均密度的轴向分布. 结果表明,反应器轴向固含率可分为底部流化床区域和上部提升管区域. 前者的密相区平均固含率随表观气速增大而减小;后者的平均固含率随表观气速Ug增大而增大,Ug<0.58 m/s时固含率分布均匀,Ug=0.70~1.04 m/s时提升管出口出现约束返混区(>8.62 m),Ug>1.16 m/s时提升管底部出现密度重整区(3.82~4.57 m)、加速平稳区(4.57~8.62 m)和出口返混区(>8.62 m). 确定了耦合反应器内提升管区域截面平均固含率的影响参数,并利用实验数据回归了平均固含率的轴向分布经验模型,计算值与实验值吻合较好.

循环喷动流化床固体流动规律

<正>循环喷动流化床由于循环管(导向管)的引入,显著地提高了射流床的操作能力、传热传质特性及接触效率,因而被广泛地应用于化工过程,如:颗粒涂层、煤气化和石油烃类的热裂解)。 鉴于循环喷动流化床的广泛应用,许多研究者对床层的气固流动循性进行了研究,但是由于实验的几何参数、特性参数及操作参数的不同,实验结果存在着较大的差异,有关固体循环速率的数学模型报道很少,已有的模型也因假设条件太多及考虑影响因素不全而不具有普遍的适用性,本文通过研究几何参数、操作参数及物性参数对固体循环速率的影响,进而得出综合考虑以上参数在内的预测固体循环速率的定量方程,为工程设计提供重要信息。

循环床提升管中粗重颗粒浓度的轴向分布

在10m高提升管中对空气-沙子体系的压力梯度进行系统测试,研究了粗重颗粒平均颗粒浓度云的轴向分布及操作条件对它的影响。结果表明,粗重颗粒的^εs在相同操作条件下显著低于FCC颗粒;随操作条件的不同,沙子颗粒表现出与FCC显著不同的轴向分布形态。高气速下粗重颗粒^εs的轴向分布与FCC相似表现为单调下降或直线形关系;但在表观气速Ug降低至某一临界值后,粗重颗粒^εs的轴向分布呈现出波动形式,表明沙子颗粒在提升管中的流动是一个加速-减速-再加速直至充分发展的过程。随Ug减小或Gs增大,提升管各截面上云升高;当^εs的轴向分布为波动形式时,提升管底部截面和中部颗粒聚集截面上^εs的变化较其它截面更为显著。

Deep learning-based tomographic imaging of ECT for characterizing particle distribution in circulating fluidized bed

The gas and solids in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) are heterogeneously dispersed and a multiscale flow regime may form both in time and space. Accurate measurement of the fluidizing process is significant for investigating the multiscale gas–solid flow characteristics and the design, optimization, and control of CFBs in various applications. This article develops a deep learning-based tomographic imaging of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) to characterize the particle concentration distribution in a CFB. The deep tomographic imaging approach is realized through training a well-designed convolutional neural network (CNN) with the numerically built dataset. Simulation results demonstrate that the average values of the relative image errors reconstructed by CNN in the test set are 0.1110 and 0.1114 for the 60 and 100 mm pipes, respectively, which are better than the average values of 0.1819 and 0.2519 by the Landweber algorithm. With the verification of the trained model based on the prepared data can image the unseen typical flow patterns better than Landweber, it is further used to investigate the particle flow characteristics of a lab-scale CFB. Experimental results reveal that the developed deep tomographic imaging of ECT can successfully measure the fluidized particle distribution in both the 60 and 100 mm pipes, showing good prediction and generality of the designed CNN model. A flow regime transformation from “annular” flow to “core-annular” flow and pneumatic conveying is observed under the tested conditions. Besides, the flow regime would be highly affected by the fluidized gas flow rate and the initial bed height.     

提升管中气固两相流动行为的相似特性

在15.1 m高循环流化床实验装置上对提升管内的轴向压力梯度、局部颗粒浓度和颗粒速度进行了较系统的实验测试,研究了提升管中气固两相流充分发展段在不同操作条件下流动行为的相似特性.结果表明,在(G_s /ρ_p)^1.2/U^2.0_g相近的操作条件下,上行气固两相流充分发展段的颗粒浓度、下降颗粒时均速度、絮状物颗粒浓度和出现频率在空间的分布特征基本相同.对于同一提升管内的同一气固两相流系统,只要表观气速和颗粒循环速率按(G_s /ρ_p)^1.2/U^2.0_g同步变化,不同操作条件下的上行气固两相流在充分发展段就具有相似的宏观和微观流动行为.     

Phase distributions in a gas–liquid–solid circulating fluidized bed riser

The distributions of the three phases in gas–liquid–solid circulating fluidized beds (GLSCFB) were studied using a novel measurement technique that combines electrical resistance tomography (ERT) and optical fibre probe. The introduction of gas into a liquid–solid circulating fluidized bed (LSCFB), thus forming a GLSCFB, caused the increase of solids holdup due to the significantly decreased available buoyancy with the lower density of the gas, even with a somewhat increased liquid velocity due to the decreased liquid holdup giving space for the gas holdup. The gas passed through the riser in the form of bubbles, which tended to flow more through the central region of the riser, leading to more radial non‐uniformity in radial holdup of the phases. The gas velocity has the most significant effect on the gas phase holdup. While the gas velocity also has an obvious effect to the solids holdups, the liquid flow rate had a much more considerable effect on the phase holdups. The solids circulation rate also had a significant effect on the phase holdups, with increasing solids circulation rate causing much more increased solids holdup in the central region than close to the wall. A correlation was developed for the relative radial distributions of solids holdup in GLSCFB, as such radial profiles were found similar over a wide range of operating conditions, like those in a typical gas–solid circulating fluidized beds (GSCFB). Finally, the axial solids profiles in a GLSCFB was found to be much closer to those in an LSCFB which are very uniform, than those found in a GSCFB which are less uniform and sometime having a S shape. Water was used as the continuous and conductive phase, air was the gas phase and glass bead and lava rock particles were used as the solid and non‐conductive phase.     

循环流化床提升管T形弯头动态压力的小波分析

针对循环流化床提升管出口T形弯头,以FCC催化剂颗粒为物料,采用动态压力传感器,对T形弯头内的气固两相流的动态压力进行了实验测量,以此分析T形弯头内动态压力的特性。实验结果表明,由于在T形弯头盲管处颗粒折返造成的冲击,形成了一个压力脉动源。小波分析表明T形弯头处的压力脉动主频来自盲管内,而次频能量所占比例随着颗粒质量流率增加而加大。T形弯头内的动态压力的标准偏差与颗粒质量流率呈线性关系,可以用于表征循环流化床内的颗粒质量流率。     

上行气固两相流充分发展段流动行为的相似特性

在10.5 m高气固循环流化床实验装置上,在对提升管内的轴向压力梯度和局部颗粒浓度进行实验测试的基础上,结合部分文献上的实验数据,研究了上行气固两相流充分发展段在不同操作条件下气固两相流动行为的相似特性.结果表明,所提出的经验相似准则能表征上行气固两相流充分发展段在不同操作条件下流动行为的相似性,并且该经验相似准则独立于实验装置系统.对于同一上行气固两相流系统,只要操作参数按该相似准则同步变化,气固两相流在充分发展段就具有相似的宏观和微观流动行为.     

60米高矩形截面循环流化床内物料分布冷态试验

为研究超高提升管内的气固流动特性,依托四川白马电厂600MW超临界循环流化床锅炉现有钢架,将原有60m高的提升管冷模试验台的上部20m改为矩形截面的循环流化床提升管试验台。本文重点研究了提升管流化风速对上部颗粒浓度的轴向/截面分布特性及其影响因素。试验结果表明：颗粒浓度和颗粒粒径的分布特性与流化风速和几何结构密切相关,在一定初始床料高度下,随着风速的增加,提升管上部的空隙率沿轴向先不变然后减少,并最终呈现倒C形分布;截面浓度从均匀分布逐渐变为近短边壁处的颗粒浓度要明显大于近长边壁处的不均匀分布;平均颗粒粒径则随风速的增加而增大,沿截面分布均匀,但是沿提升管高度方向平均颗粒粒径沿轴向会略微减小,且提升管上部近短边壁的颗粒粒径要稍小于近长边壁的。     

Hydrodynamic modelling of the axial density profile in the riser of a low‐density circulating fluidized bed

The axial density profile is an important characteristic of the CFB riser and a key parameter in the CFB design. A simple, but reliable model is needed to predict the density profiles. Elutriation‐based models treat the dense phase at the bottom of the riser as a dense bubbling bed whereas the dilute phase higher up can be looked upon as the entrainment zone above the dense bed. The elutriation model, as originally presented by Rhodes et al. (1986) and based on Wen et al. (1982) is extensively studied and modified. In spite of the modifications, the use of entrainment models has certain clear limitations due to a wide range of predictions as evident from Table 1. Elutriation rates are calculated based on the hydrodynamic phenomena in the dense bed and a fitting procedure for the entrainment decay constant (σ) was performed.     

Electrostatic effects on hydrodynamics in the riser of the circulating fluidized bed for polypropylene

Electrostatic potential in the multizone circulating fluidized bed (CFB) reactor for polypropylene is measured even larger than 1,000 V. In this article, electrostatic effects on hydrodynamics in the riser of CFBs were studied via experiment and computational fluid dynamic simulation. Experimental results showed electrostatics increased solids holdup in the riser for more than 20% in fast fluidization. Using measured charge densities as electrostatic model parameters, electrostatic effects were simulated by two-fluid model coupled with electrostatics accurately. The relative deviation between measured and simulated solids holdup was 3.53% at 5.68 m/s, which was the first time that this mode was verified quantitatively. Further analysis of simulation results demonstrated the mechanism of electrostatic effects was that the electrostatic forces increased the radial particle velocity and induced particle accumulation near the wall, leading to the increase of solids holdup. These electrostatic effects are more significant in the dense-phase region, which require special care.     

A CFD study of gas–solid jet in a CFB riser flow

Three‐dimensional high‐resolution numerical simulations of a gas–solid jet in a high‐density riser flow were conducted. The impact of gas–solid injection on the riser flow hydrodynamics was investigated with respect to voidage, tracer mass fractions, and solids velocity distribution. The behaviors of a gas–solid jet in the riser crossflow were studied through the unsteady numerical simulations. Substantial separation of the jetting gas and solids in the riser crossflow was observed. Mixing of the injected gas and solids with the riser flow was investigated and backmixing of gas and solids was evaluated. In the current numerical study, both the overall hydrodynamics of riser flow and the characteristics of gas–solid jet were reasonably predicted compared with the experimental measurements made at NETL.
