Abstract: | Experiments were carried out in a cryogenic vibrated fluidised bed to investigate the heat transfer between gas and rubber particles obtained from discarded tyres. The effects of parameters such as bed layer thickness and gas flow rate on the gas-solid heat transfer were investigated, and a heat transfer correlation obtained by regressing the experimental data. Theoretical analysis based on radial thermal conductivity indicated that higher heat transfer efficiency could be obtained by the use of a fluidised bed rather than a fixed bed or a moving bed, especially for rubber particles having low thermal conductivity under cryogenic conditions. A numerical modelling was developed, based on assumptions of the movement of the particles and the vibrating bed plate, using a unique method of regarding particles as the source term in the energy equation. Computational results from the modelling showed good agreement with the experimental data. |
