A Discussion on Minimum Spout Velocity and Jet Penetration Length

The similarity and difference between the flat‐bottom and cone‐bottom cylindrical spouted beds, conical spouted beds and vertical upward jets in fluidized beds have been analyzed in this paper based on the effects of geometrical parameters on the minimum spouting velocity and operating stabilities of the spouted beds. The effect of angle on minimum spouting velocity was found to be only significant within the range of 30 to 60 degrees cone angles. Minimum spouting velocity in deep cylindrical spouted beds was proportional to the square root of the static bed height, but was proportional to the static bed height in conical spouted beds and large cylindrical spouted beds with small height‐to‐diameter ratio. The relationship between the minimum spouting velocity and the static bed height was consistent with that between jet velocity and the vertical jet penetration length in jetting fluidized beds.     

Minimum spouting velocity for the pyrolysis of scrap tyres with sand in conical spouted beds

The effect of temperature (in the 298-973 K range) on minimum spouting velocity has been studied in conical spouted beds made up of mixtures of tyre and sand particles, for different sizes of tyre particles and for different tyre/sand ratios. The good fit to the experimental results confirms the validity of the correlations already proposed by Olazar et al. [M. Olazar, M.J. San José, A.T. Aguayo, J.M. Arandes, J. Bilbao, Stable operation conditions for gas-solid contact regimes in conical spouted beds, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 31 (1992) 1784-1791] for room temperature, which is due to the fact that they take into account the density and viscosity of the gas. For fine particles, the effect of density prevails on the effect of viscosity and the equations proposed by Bai et al. [D. Bai, Y. Masuda, N. Nakagawa, K. Kato, Hydrodynamic behavior of a binary solids fluidized bed, J. Chem. Eng. Jpn. 29 (1996) 211-216] are suitable for the calculation of the average particle size and density, in order for them to be used in the calculation of minimum spouting velocity. For coarse particles, the effect of gas viscosity is insignificant compared to the effect of density and the equation of Goossens et al. [W.R.A. Goossens, G.L. Dumont, G.L. Spaepen, Fluidization of binary mixtures in the laminar flow region, Chem. Eng. Prog. Symp. Ser. 67 (1971) 38-45] is suitable for the calculation of the average particle size required for ascertaining minimum spouting velocity.     

Minimum spouting velocity for binary mixture of particles in rectangular spouted beds

Minimum spouting velocity data are reported for seven mixtures of polystyrene, spouted with air in three rectangular spouted beds of square cross sectional areas, using nozzles of five sizes. Correlations for minimum spouting velocity in cylindrical columns were investigated for this geometry. A new dimensionless correlation for predicting the minimum spouting velocity is developed.     

Pressure Fluctuations in Jet Spouted Beds

Jet spouted beds that consisted of a transparent Plexiglas cylindrical column of 1 m high and a conical base with cone angles of 30°, 36°, and 40° were used in this study. The particles used were spherical glass beads with an average diameter of 1.7, 2.1 and 3 mm, respectively, and particle size of 2.2 – 3.1 mm, non‐spherical rice particles. The effect of size and shape of particles, and static bed height on the minimum jet spouting velocity, and standard deviation of pressure fluctuations, was investigated. The results show that the minimum jet spouting velocity and pressure drop increased as the bed height and particle size increased. The minimum jet spouting velocity could be determined from the plot of standard deviation of pressure fluctuations vs. superficial gas velocity. The results obtained were in close agreement with the results of other methods in the literature.     

Spouting behaviors of binary mixtures of cylindroid and spherical particles

Spouting behaviors of cylindroid and spherical particles in a spouted bed are experimentally investigated. The characteristics of flow pattern and pressure drop of the binary mixtures are figured out and three kinds of cylindroid particles with different sizes and shapes are involved in experiments to discuss effects of particle size and shape on the spouting behaviors in beds. The emphasis is laid on the influence of the volume fraction of cylindroid particles, X_c, on the spouting phenomena, including the total pressure drop, the minimum spouting velocity, and fountain height. Results show that, the shapes and sizes of cylindroid particles, mainly including equivolume diameter and aspect ratio, significantly affect the spouting behaviors. There is a maximum volume fraction, X_c,max, for each kind of cylinders to maintain the stable fountain at a certain gas velocity. With the same gas velocity, X_c,max is lower for the cylinders with higher aspect ratio. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 58–67, 2015     

Hydrodynamics of a spouted bed with an impermeable draft tube for binary particle systems

A spouted bed with an impermeable draft tube was employed to obtain fundamental data of binary mixtures of glass beads for both the operating conditions and the design factors. These data were compared with those for the coarser particle system only. From this view point, minimum spouting velocity, pressure drop, hold-up of solid particles within a draft tube, upward gas flow rate within the annulus and solids circulation rate were determined by changing the total gas flow rate and mass fraction of finer particles as operating parameters and by changing distance of entrainment zone and draft tube diameter as geometric parameters.     

The characteristics of fluid flow in beds of small glass particles spouted with water

The characteristics of beds of small glass particles 0.28, 0.46 and 0.77mm in diameter spouted with water were studied in a half-cylindrical column 51mm in diameter with inlet tube diameter of 3.2mm. The minimum spouting velocity, bed pressure drop at minimum spouting and spout diameter were measured. Assuming Darcy flow, the fluid flow in the annulus is modeled and shown to represent the streamlines quite well. The residence time of the fluid in the annulus is calcuated from the model and compared with experimental data.     

Prediction of critical fluidization velocity and maximum bed pressure drop for binary mixture of regular particles in gas–solid tapered fluidized beds

The problems associated with conventional (cylindrical) fluidized beds, viz., fluidization of wider size range of particles, entrainment of particles and limitation of fluidization velocity could be overcome by using tapered fluidized beds. Limited work has been carried out to study the hydrodynamics of single materials with uniform size particles in tapered beds. In the present work, an attempt has been made to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of binary mixtures of homogeneous and heterogeneous regular particles (glass bead and sago) in tapered fluidized beds having different tapered angles. Correlations have been developed for critical fluidization velocity and maximum bed pressure drop for gas–solid tapered fluidized beds for binary mixtures of regular particles. Model predictions were compared with experimental data, which were in good agreement.     

Liquid spouting of pulp fibers in a conical vessel

Pulp fibers can be spouted in water in a conical vessel. The entities which are spouted are fiber flocs rather than individual fibers. Synthetic fibers, which do not flocculate, cannot be spouted. For comparison, rigid spherical particles were spouted with water in the same conical vessel. Liquid spouting of rigid particles was similar to gaseous spouting. For pulp spouting, the minimum spouting velocity is proportional to the mass of fibers in the bed and inversely proportional to the diameter of the inlet. For rigid particles, the minimum spouting velocity is proportional to the height of the bed and inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the inlet. A model for the minimum spouting velocity was developed for pulp spouting.     

A comparative hydrodynamic study of two types of spouted bed reactor designs

In order to properly design and scale up spouted beds, one needs to predict the minimum spouting velocity of specific systems having different bed dimensions, and properties of particle and spouting gas. Because of inherent complexity of predicting minimum spouting velocity, the prevailing approach has been to use empirical correlations, a number of which are available in the literature. Central jet distributors are commonly used in the experimental studies reported in the literature. Circular slit distributor is a new concept in which air is supplied to the bed of particles through a circular slit. This paper presents results of an experimental study on the hydrodynamics of central jet and circular slit distributors. In this paper a fully connected feed-forward neural network model was used to predict the minimum spouting velocity of central jet and circular slit spouted beds. A neural network model was also developed to predict minimum fluidization velocity. The actual experimental data obtained from published literature and from the experiments carried out in this study were used for training and validating the models. The minimum spouting and fluidization velocities predicted using the neural network models developed in this study show a better approximation to the actual experimental values than those obtained from correlations available in the open literature. The position of flow regime of circular slit spouted bed was also established relative to the flow regimes of central jet spouted bed and fluidized bed.

HYDRODYNAMIC STUDIES IN A HALF SLOT-RECTANGULAR SPOUTED BED COLUMN

Experiments were carried out in a half slot-rectangular spouted bed to investigate the effects of slot width and lower section basal angle on column hydrodynamics. Flow regimes, minimum spouting velocity, spouting and maximum pressure drops, and maximum spoutable bed height were determined for 4 mm diameter polyethylene particles. The results are compared with those for conventional cylindrical and rectangular spouted beds. Correlations for each hydrodynamic parameter are developed and compared with equations available in the literature.     

PREDICTION OF MINIMUM SPOUTING VELOCITY IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL FLAT BOTTOM SPOUTED BEDS

Spouted beds have been used in industry for operations such as drying, catalytic reactions, and granulation. Conventional cylindrical spouted beds suffer from the disadvantage of scaleup. Two-dimensional beds have been proposed by other authors as a solution for this problem. Minimum spouting velocity has been studied for such two-dimensional beds. A force balance model has been developed to predict the minimum spouting velocity and the maximum pressure drop. Effect of porosity on minimum spouting velocity and maximum pressure drop has been studied using the model. The predictions are in good agreement with the experiments as well as with the experimental results of other investigators.     

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.     

HYDRODYNAMIC STUDIES IN A HALF SLOT-RECTANGULAR SPOUTED BED COLUMN

Flow regimes, minimum spouting velocity, spouting and maximum pressure drops, and maximum spoutable bed height were determined for 4?mm diameter polyethylene particles. The results are compared with those for conventional cylindrical and rectangular spouted beds. Correlations for each hydrodynamic parameter are developed and compared with equations available in the literature.     

Particle segregation in a spouted bed of binary mixtures of particles

Minimum spouting velocity and segregation behaviour of binary mixtures of particles differing in size have been studied. The experiments were carried out in a bed of 20 cm diameter at superficial gas velocities up to 1.3 U_ms by use of silica sand of four different particle sizes from 0.655 to 2.23 mm. An empirical equation was proposed for the minimum spouting velocity of binary mixtures. The effects of the particle size difference and the superficial gas velocity on segregation were investigated. Results showed that considerable radial segregation as well as axial segregation occurred even for high gas velocity under the condition of large particle size difference.     

Numerical simulation and experimental study of fluid-particle flows in a spouted bed

In this work, the Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model is used in the computational simulation of fluid dynamics of spouted beds with two different geometries: conical-cylindrical and conical. For the conical-cylindrical spouted bed, the simulated results of radial velocities of particles with a 1.41 mm diameter along bed heights in the range of 0.022 to 0.318 m are compared with experimental values obtained by He et al. [Y.L. He, C.J. Lim, J.R. Grace and, J.X. Zhu, Measurements of Voidage Profiles in Spouted Beds, Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 72 (1994), 229-234], and show a good agreement. The influence of static bed height on the characteristic curve is assessed through simulations using different airflow rates. The respective minimum spouting velocities are compared with experimental values and with values obtained through empirical correlations reported in the literature. The results of the CFD simulations show a deviation of 3.8% when compared with the experimental data, which is less than the aforementioned correlations. The stages of transition from the condition of static bed to spouting bed are presented through the simulation of solids volume fraction distribution and the radial profile of voidage in the spouting region. The characteristic curve and minimum spouting conditions for a simulated conical bed, with glass particles of 6 mm diameter are compared with the experimental results showing deviations of 12.1% for the pressure drop and 5.6% for the minimum spouting velocity.     

HYDRODYNAMICS AND STABILITYOF SLOT-RECTANGULAR SPOUTED BEDS. PART I: THIN BED

Spouted beds of rectangular cross-section with gas entry through bottom slots have been proposed as a means of overcoming scale-up difficulties of conventional spouted beds. A study was undertaken of bed hydrodynamics in a thin slot-rectangular column of width 150 mm and slot width 2 to 20 mm for four types of particles. Flow regimes and bed hydrodynamics are qualitatively similar to those in cylindrical spouted beds, but there are significant quantitative differences caused by the different geometry. Slot width exerts a strong influence on such features as flow regimes, maximum spoutable bed height, minimum spouting velocity, pressure drop and fountain height.
