Studies on solid mean residence time in a three-stage gas-solid fluidized bed with downcomer

Fluidized bed reactors behave as a continuously stirred tank reactor having wide residence time of solids, which is not desirable if a homogeneous product is required. The multi-stage fluidized bed reactors narrow the solids residence time, making it useful for various operations. A three-stage fluidized reactor was designed, fabricated and operated under stable operating condition to investigate the mean particle residence time in the system. The materials taken for the study were lime and sand. In the particle residence time experiments, the results revealed that at a particular solids velocity, mean residence time decreased with increase in gas velocity and increased with decrease in gas velocity. Based on the data, a correlation has been presented for predicting mean residence time.     

Turbulent Modeling of the Production of Ultra Fine Aluminum Particles: Scale-Up

A convenient way to synthesize aluminum nanoparticles is to evaporate the metal, direct this vapor into a tubular reactor and quench it with a radial flow of cold gas. The supersaturated vapors nucleate and grow into the desired nanoparticles. For small-scale operations, because of the high temperatures and relatively low flow rates involved, the conditions of operation are usually laminar. As the units are scaled up to higher production rates, the flows become transitional or even fully turbulent. This work reports on the use of a Low Reynolds Number (LRN) turbulent model to simulate this system and its scale up for the synthesis of pure aluminum powders. Coagulation was identified as the dominating mechanism in particle growth for the conditions and scales studied. Scale up with dynamic similitude results in increased residence time which significantly changes the particle properties during scale-up. In scale-up with constant residence time, the flow field regime changes from laminar to turbulent. These changes in the flow regime affect the particle characteristics significantly for reactors of small length to diameter ratio (L/D = 6), but are almost insignificant for large length to diameter ratios (L/D = 12). Turbulent reactors showed small changes in the particle characteristics, plus a better percentage of metal vapor recuperated as particles at the end of the reactor.     

三维上流式反应器床层流动和返混特性

Axial gas dispersion in a fluidized bed of polyethylene particles

Gas mixing behavior was investigated in a residence time distribution experiment in a bubbling fluidized bed of 0.07 m ID and 0.80 m high. Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) particles having a mean diameter of 772 Μm and a particle size range of 200-1,500 Μm were employed as the bed material. The stimulus-response technique with CO₂ as a tracer gas was performed for the RTD study. The effects of gas velocity, aspect ratio (H₀/D) and scale-up on the axial gas dispersion were determined from the unsteady-state dispersion model, and the residence time distributions of gas in the fluidized bed were compared with the ideal reactors. It was found that axial dispersion depends on the gas velocity and aspect ratio of the bed. The dimensionless dispersion coefficient was correlated with Reynolds number and aspect ratio.     

Investigation of Metal Powder Injection into a Combustion Chamber by Large Eddy Simulation for Power to X Studies

The numerical modeling and simulation of particle dispersion during the filling process of a tubular combustion chamber are presented. By means of multiphase large eddy simulations (LES) the particle distribution inside a circular diffuser-reactor chamber is studied to analyze the two-phase flow dynamics for metal powder combustion in a tubular reactor with flame propagation. Typical particle accumulations are found that form close to the reactor wall and also particles tend to segregate and preferentially concentrate at vortex surfaces in particle bands. Particle segregation and accumulation effects aside vortex structures are analyzed using the LES approach. The causes of particle segregation and inhomogeneities are studied and measures for its reduction by changes in the reactor design are discussed. Alterations of the diffuser geometry are adapted to minimize the central particle jet formation and the particle distribution inhomogeneities during the filling process.     

Aggregation Experiments on Fine Fly Ash Particles in a Gradient Magnetic Field

Aggregation experiments were conducted on two kinds of fly ash particles in the size range of 0.023–9.314 μm in a gradient magnetic field produced by permanent magnetic rings. The two types of fly ash particles were obtained from Dongsheng and Datong coal combustion. The effect of particle size, total particle mass concentration, particle residence time in the magnetic field and gas velocity were examined. Experimental results showed that the removal efficiencies in a gradient magnetic field are much higher than those in a uniform magnetic field. The total and single‐sized particle removal efficiencies can be improved by increasing the total particle mass concentrations and the particle residence time in the magnetic field or reducing the gas velocity. Mid‐sized particle removal efficiencies are higher than those of the larger and smaller ones. With the increase in total particle removal efficiencies, the particle size corresponding to the maximum values of single‐sized particle removal efficiencies and the particle number median diameters both decrease. Both the single‐sized and total removal efficiencies for the particles from the Dongsheng coal combustion are higher than those from the Datong coal combustion.     

A model on chemical looping combustion of methane in a bubbling fluidized-bed process

We developed a mathematical model to discuss the performance of chemical looping combustion (CLC) of methane in continuous bubbling fluidized-beds. The model considers the particle population balance, oxidation and reduction rate of particles in fluidized beds. It also considers utilization efficiency of oxygen carrier (OC) particles, residence time of particles in each reactor, and particle size in reaction rate. The model was applied for a bubbling coreannulus fluidized-bed process. The core bed was the fuel reactor (0.08 m-i.d., 2.1 m-height) and the annulus bed was the air reactor (0.089 m-i.d., 0.15 m-o.d., 1.6 m-height). The process employed a type of Ni-based OC particles. The present model agrees reasonably well with the combustion efficiency measured in the process. Simulation was performed to investigate the effects of some variables for the process. The present model revealed that the range of circulation rate of OC particles for achieving complete combustion determined the operating range of the CLC system. The minimum circulation rate of OC particles for complete combustion decreased in the considered operating range as temperature or bed mass increased in the fuel reactor. A large mass of the fuel bed was necessary to obtain complete combustion at low fuel reactor temperature. The fresh feed rate of OC particles for steady state operation increased in complete combustion condition as temperature or static bed height or gas velocity increased.     

Flow and particle heating in an entrained flow reactor

A study of the flow and particle heating characteristics of a laminar entrained flow reactor used for experiments on the devolatilization and combustion of coal is presented. Flow visualization showed that proper inlet design and operating conditions are essential to prevent dispersion of coal particles and ensure uniform treatment conditions for all particles. Results of a finite difference model of the gas flow and temperature fields as well as particle motion and heating are discussed, and recommendations made for the design and operation of entrained flow reactors. It is concluded that an accurate model of the reactor flow field is essential for extraction of meaningful reaction rate data from experiments in the reactor.

Fluidization behavior in a circulating slugging fluidized bed reactor. Part I: Residence time and residence time distribution of polyethylene solids

Square nosed slugging fluidization behavior in a circulating fluidized bed riser using a polyethylene powder with a very wide particle size distribution was studied. In square nosed slugging fluidization the extent of mixing of particles of different size depends on the riser diameter, gas velocity, hold up and solids flux in the riser. Depending on the operating conditions the particle residence time distribution of a riser in the slugging fluidization regime can vary from that of a plug flow reactor to that of a well-mixed system.Higher gas velocities cause shorter particle residence times because of a significant decrease in the hold-up of particles in the riser at higher gas velocities. A higher solids flux also shortens the average residence time. Both influences have been quantified for a given polyethylene-air system.Residence time and residence time distribution were determined for different particle size and the influence of gas velocity, solids flux, hold up and riser diameter was studied. When comparing data from segregation and residence time experiments it is clear that segregation data can predict the spread in residence time as a function of overall residence time, particle size and gas velocity. The differential velocity between small and large particles found in the segregation experiments can predict the spread in residence time as found in the residence time distribution experiments with a powder with a broad particle size distribution. Raining of particles through the slugs was studied as a function of plug length, gas velocity and pulse length. It was found that raining is not the determining mechanism for segregation of particles.
