BUBBLE COMPUTATION, GRANULAR TEMPERATURES, AND REYNOLDS STRESSES

Bubbles were simulated in a two-dimensional fluidized bed with a constant inlet velocity using two computer codes, the IIT code and the MFIX code. The computational results were compared to the Jung et al. (2005) experiments in a thin bubbling bed of 530 μm glass beads. The use of higher order numerics produces better bubble resolution due to smaller numerical diffusion. The computed bubble sizes and their distributions agreed with the experiments. The simulations show that there is no bubble formation for sufficiently elastic particles.

CFD computations and previous experiments show that in the bubbling fluidized beds there exist two random oscillations. The first kind is due to random oscillations of particles and is measured by the conventional granular temperature. The second one is due to motion of bubbles and gives rise to Reynolds type stresses. It is shown that the particle granular temperature is much smaller than the bubble-like granular temperature computed from the average of the normal Reynolds stresses, measured by Cody using a shot noise technique.     

SIMULATION OF BUBBLE FORMATION AND HEAPING IN A VIBRATING GRANULAR BED

The Eulerian-Eulerian approach is used to simulate flow in a dense granular bed subjected to a slight, vertical, sinusoidal vibration. The bottom of the bed was subjected to a vertical vibration, ASin(ω _v t)J ₀(k _m x), where J represents the profile of the bottom wall and is the first kind of Bessel function. The governing equations of the gas phase and particle phase are described and the results of the model with different vibration frequencies and amplitudes are presented. Bubble formation and upward and downward heaping were observed at different amplitudes and frequencies. The results of the model confirm that there is a change from upward to downward heaps according to the strength of the vibration. In addition, the location of the bubble and the shape of the heaping at the interface of the bed depend on the strength of the vibration and the profile of the bottom of the container.

Effect of electric field on the hydrodynamics of fluidized nanoparticles

The effect of electric field on the hydrodynamics of nanoparticles was studied in a fluidized rectangular bed, with electrodes attached to two parallel walls. It was shown that the electric field of the order of 3 times the gravity markedly decreased the bed expansion and increased the solids volume fraction of nanoparticles fluidized by air. In these experiments, a light diode assembly was utilized to infer the local solids volume fractions within a rectangular bed of 10 nm silica particles. These experimental measurements yielded a two dimensional solids volume fraction distribution within the rectangular bed. The experimental results provided some new insights into the distribution of solids within the bed. The agglomerate diameters were computed using a momentum balance with the drag given by the Ergun equation and the empirical Richardson-Zaki method. Both methods yielded agglomerate diameters of the order of 100 μm and showed dependence on the strength of the electric field. The electric field decreased the granular temperature of the nanoparticles.     

BUBBLE TEMPERATURES OF THE BINARY MIXTURES OF 1,2-DIMETHYLBENZENE WITH 2-PROPANOL, 1-BUTANOL, 2-BUTANOL, 2-METHYLPROPAN-1-OL AND 2-METHYLPROPAN-2-OL AT 95 kPa

Bubble temperatures at 95?kPa over the entire composition range are measured for the five binary systems formed by 1,2-dimethylbenzene with 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2- methylpropan-1-ol, and 2-methylpropan- 2-ol. A Swietoslawski - type ebulliometer was used for the measurements. The composition versus temperature measurements are well represented by the Wilson model.

BUBBLE POINT MEASUREMENTS FOR TERNARY SYSTEMS CONTAINING NITROGEN AND METHANE WITH PROPANE, n-BUTANE, OR n-PENTANE

Bubble Point measurements were made for the following ternary systems: nitrogen-methane-propane, nitrogen-methane-normal butane, and nitrogen-methane-normal pentane. The temperature range was 122 to 205 K and the pressure range was 0.34 to 5.37 MPa. Bubble point pressures were reproducible to within ±0.007 MPa.     

HYDRODYNAMICS, MIXING AND MASS TRANSFER IN A LARGE DIAMETER JET BUBBLE COLUMN

Experimental measurements for the axial and radial variations in gas holdup, axial and radial dispersion coefficients, volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient and liquid phase circulation velocity in a cone of a large diameter (122 cm) jet bubble column are presented. Two diameters of the inlet nozzle, namely 10.16 cm and 15.24 cm, three superficial gas velocities (based on cylinder diameter), 3 cm/sec, 6 cm/sec and 8 cm/sec and two superficial liquid velocities, 0.3 cm/sec and 0.6 cm/sec, are examined. The experimental data are obtained for two different bed heights.

The experimental data showed significant axial and radial variations in the gas holdup. The volumetric average gas holdup was higher at higher gas velocity and larger nozzle diameter and somewhat higher at lower liquid velocity. The axial dispersion was high while the radial dispersion was low. The volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficient was larger at higher gas velocity and larger nozzle diameter. The liquid recirculation begins only at the upper end of the cone. In general, experimental data indicate that a jet bubble column provides a high degree of mixing and transport rates.

THE MEASUREMENT OF BUBBLE DIAMETER DISTRIBUTIONS AND LIQUID SIDE MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS IN A GAS-LIQUID AGITATED VESSEL USING A REAL-TIME,HIGH-SPEED IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

In this study, we report the measurement results of various spatial distributions, such as Sauter diameter, gas holdup ratio, and interface area per unit liquid volume, in a vessel using a real-time, high-speed image processing system developed by ourselves. We attempted to separate liquid side mass transfer coefficients, k L , from overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients, k L a, based on the results mentioned above. And we examined the relations between power consumption per unit volume, P v , and both k L and k L a in order to establish correlation equations of k L and k L a with P v , gas holdup ratio, gas superficial velocity, v s , and surface tension.
