声场高温流化床流化特性的实验研究

本文系统分析了温度、声波频率、声压级对GeldartB类颗粒初始流化速度和反应器内压力波动的影响规律。实验结果显示:当反应器内加入声场,颗粒的初始流化速度随着温度的升高急剧下降,随声压级的增大而减小,随声波频率的增大先减小后增大,并存在一个最佳频率范围。当温度超过400℃后,声压级对颗粒最小流化速度的影响增大。压力波动标准方差随气速的增大而增大;当声压级大于110 dB和声波频率处于100～200 Hz时压力波动标准偏差和颗粒初始流化速度达到最小值。     

声场流化床A类颗粒浓度分布研究

在内径140 mm,高1 600 mm的鼓泡流化床中,以流化催化裂化(FCC)颗粒为流化介质,采用光导纤维探针测定不同轴/径向位置的颗粒浓度分布.考察了操作气速和外加声场对密相区颗粒浓度的影响.结果表明,鼓泡床密相区颗粒浓度沿轴向逐渐减小,沿径向呈抛物线分布.声场的引入可以降低颗粒起始流化速度:声压级越大,起始流化速度越小:固定声压频率在150 Hz时颗粒起始流化速度最小.1随着声压强度的增大,床层中心区和上部密相区颗粒浓度增大.固定声压级,频率在100～400 Hz颗粒浓度较大,频率低于100 Hz或高于400 Hz时,声波的作用效果减弱.     

声场强化微小流化床流动特性研究

在内径4.3mm微小流化床中,考察了声场对FCC及石英砂颗粒流化质量的影响。重点讨论了声压级与频率对微小流化床最小流化速度的影响。结果表明,声场能改善微小流化床流化质量。尤其对于51μm石英砂颗粒,声场可以使其消除沟流,实现稳定流化。声压越大,声场对微小流化床流化质量改善越明显。最小流化速度随声压增高呈单调下降趋势。相同声场条件下,声波对微小流化床最小流化速度数值降低幅度大于大尺度流化床。声场对微小流化床最小流化速度的影响存在最佳频率。但不同颗粒的最佳频率不同。内径4.3mm流化床,51,67,83μm石英砂颗粒与83μmFCC颗粒对应的最佳频率分别为90,90,140和140Hz。在一定的声压与频率下,声场可以降低最小流化速度约9%～21%。对于微小流化床,床径越小,则床层空隙率越大,越有利于实现外场强化,最小流化速度的降低幅度也逐渐增大。

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.

Flow characteristics in an acoustic bubbling fluidized bed at high temperature

The pressure fluctuation of the quartz sand and SiO₂ particles was investigated using pressure transducer in high temperature fluidized bed with sound assistance. The effects of bed temperature, sound wave frequency, and sound pressure level (SPL) on the pressure fluctuation were examined. It indicates that the minimum fluidization velocity decreases with an increase in sound pressure level at the same sound frequency. At the same SPL and bed temperature, there always exists an optimal frequency range achieving good fluidization quality. As the sound frequency increases, the minimum fluidization velocity decreases firstly and then increases. Based on the statistical analysis of pressure signals, the effect of sound frequency on the fluidization quality at high-temperature fluidized bed was presented. On basis of discrete wavelet transform, an original signal was resolved into five-detailed scale signal. Furthermore, the peak frequency for Scale 3 detail signal represents the bubbling frequency.     

Wavelet Analysis of Particle Concentration Signals in an Acoustic Bubbling Fluidized Bed

The time series of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) particle concentrations were measured by an optical fiber probe under conditions of different sound pressure levels and sound frequencies in an acoustic bubbling fluidized bed (? 140 mm × 1600 mm). The results show that the minimum fluidization velocity had a minimum value when the sound wave frequency was 150 Hz. Under the same sound frequency, the fluidization velocity decreased as the sound pressure level increased. The particle concentration signals in an acoustic fluidized bed were also analyzed by means of wavelet analysis. On the basis of discrete wavelet transform, an original signal was resolved into five detailed scale signals. By using wavelet energy analysis, it was found that the peak frequency of the scale 3 or 4 detail wavelet signals represents the bubbling frequency and the peak amplitude for the bubble size. The results indicate that the bubbling frequency and bubble size decreased with increasing sound pressure level at a given frequency. In addition they decreased with increasing sound frequency ranging from 50–150 Hz, but further increased with increasing sound frequency ranging from 150–500 Hz.     

超细颗粒在声场流化床中的流化特性

在内径为130mm的声场流化床中,以原生纳米级SiO2超细颗粒为物料,在声压水平为0～140dB、声波频率为0～500Hz范围内系统地考察了声波对超细颗粒流化特性的影响。结果表明：当声波频率为100～150Hz、声压大于130dB时,声波可以有效地消除节涌、抑制沟流、降低临界流化速度,显著地改善纳米SiO2颗粒的流化质量。在频率一定的情况下,声压越高,超细颗粒的临界流化速度越低,流化质量越好。当频率低于100Hz或高于150Hz时,随着频率的进一步降低或增加,超细颗粒的临界流化速度都增大,甚至又出现节涌和沟流。声波的效果减弱甚至消失。     

Experimental and numerical research for fluidization behaviors in a gas–solid acoustic fluidized bed

The effects of sound assistance on fluidization behaviors were systematically investigated in a gas–solid acoustic fluidized bed. A model modified from Syamlal–O'Brien drag model was established. The original solid momentum equation was developed and an acoustic model was also proposed. The radial particle volume fraction, axial root‐mean‐square of bed pressure drop, granular temperature, and particle velocity in gas–solid acoustic fluidized bed were simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code Fluent 6.2. The results showed that radial particle volume fraction increased using modified drag model compared with that using the original one. Radial particle volume fraction was revealed as a parabolic concentration profile. Axial particle volume fraction decreased with the increasing bed height. The granular temperature increased with increasing sound pressure level. It showed that simulation values using CFD code Fluent 6.2 were in agreement with the experimental data. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010     

气固搅拌流化床压力脉动的小波分析

在内径188 mm、静床高400 mm的搅拌流化床中,采用Geldart D类颗粒为实验物料,通过小波分析研究了不同气速和搅拌桨转速下搅拌流化床的压力脉动行为.实验发现,搅拌桨的转动作用促使在普通流化床中不易散式流态化的D类颗粒形成了散式流态化.随着气速的增加,第1尺度的小波能量特征值在某一个气速范围内发生急剧变化,进而提出了将该气速范围的下限和上限分别定义为临界鼓泡速度和充分鼓泡速度的判据.随搅拌转速的增加,散式流态化的气速操作范围线性增加.在鼓泡流态化状态下,气速是流化床气泡行为的主导因素,搅拌桨转速的增加对气泡产生的频率无明显影响但可使气泡的直径变小.     

Effect of sound on the fluidization of group B particles

The behaviour of several kinds of group B particles ranging from 100 μm to 600 μm was studied in a sound wave vibrated fluidized bed (SVFB). The fluidized bed consists of a transparent Plexiglas tube that is 54 mm i.d. × 1 m high. A speaker mounted at the top of the bed was supplied by a function generator with square waves and was used to generate the sound as the source of vibration of the fluidized bed. The influence of the particle size, density of particles and sphericity of particles on the minimum fluidization velocity, pressure fluctuations and bubble rise velocity in the SVFB was investigated. The minimum fluidization velocity decreased as the sound energy increased. When the sound energy was strong enough and greater than the critical power, the minimum fluidization velocity would approach the same value regardless of the degree of resonance (DOR) value if the particles were in spherical shape. For non-spherical shape particles the minimum fluidization velocity was the function of the DOR value if the power was greater than the critical power. For the middle particle size range, the standard deviation of pressure fluctuations in an SVFB became lower than the one without the effect of sound in high superficial gas velocity range, but the result was reverse for the low superficial velocity; for the large particle size range, the standard deviation of pressure fluctuations in an SVFB was larger than the one without the effect of sound. The sound could also reduce the bubble rise velocity in an SVFB.
