Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 39 (thesis year 1994) a total of 13,953 thesis titles from 21 Canadian and 159 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 39 reports theses submitted in 1994, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Experimental Study of the Hydrodynamics and Cluster Formation in a Circulating Fluidized Bed

Download or read book Experimental Study of the Hydrodynamics and Cluster Formation in a Circulating Fluidized Bed written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel non-invasive gas-solid flow measuring technique being developed and tested for studying the hydrodynamics inside the riser of a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB). First of the two aims of the overall program, namely, design, development and testing of the technique to characterize the particle and gas velocities in two-phase flows was accomplished in the past year. The fringe-model'' laser Doppler anemometry concept has been modified and extended by using particles coated with a fluorescent dye and introducing a narrow band pass filter in the receiving optics. The technique permits optical discrimination between the scattered light (laser wavelength from undyed particles) and the fluorescence emission (longer wavelength). Results from extensive testing of various dye-solvent combinations, counter processor settings, signal-to noise optimization and subsequent flow measurements in the test section have shown that the technique can effectively discriminate between two classes of particles--the smaller seed particles for the gas phase data and the larger bed particles. Use of a two-watt Argon-Ion laser assisted in the non-intrusive probing of the gas-solid flow and in enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. An uncertainty analysis of LDA measurements is presented. Design of the cold flow CFB model, presently under fabrication, is outlined in this report. The Plexiglas CFB model will be employed for the riser core-annular flow studies using the fluorescence-emission based laser-Doppler anemometry. The results from this study will present a unique detailed description of the complex gas-solid behavior in the CFB riser.

Book Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer in Circulating Fluidized Beds

Download or read book Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer in Circulating Fluidized Beds written by Shihui Zhou and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new theoretical approach to the modelling of the upward flow of gas-particle suspensions is presented. In this, the proposed theory is used to predict suspension concentration, radial gas and solids velocities, axial gas and solids velocities. This thesis provides a general expression for slip velocity between gas and solids phases. The equivalence of pressure gradient with suspension concentration is demonstrated. The experimentally observed existence of core-annulus flow structure, a rapidly- rising dilute core surrounded by a slowly-falling denser annulus adjacent to the pipe walls, in vertical risers is predicted by the theory. Sodium chloride tracer impulse injection was used to measure the longitudinal solids mixing in circulating fluidized bed risers of internal diameter 0.152 and 0.305m at superficial gas velocity from 2.8 to 5.0 m/s for mean solids circulation flux from 5.0 to 80 kg/m2s. The measured solids mixing data were satisfactorily described by a simple one-dimensional dispersion model which permits residence time distribution curves to be calculated directly from a knowledge of operating conditions. The degree of longitudinal solids mixing in the riser is found to decrease with increase in riser diameter. The measurement of instantaneous local temperature fluctuation traces and mean thermal boundary layers was conducted with a special probe for various operating conditions. A mechanism, in which eddying particle cloud swarms and gas packets are pictured as the receptors of heat, and relatively steady conduction of heat and unsteady random transport of heat play the principal roles in the wall-to-suspension heat transfer, is proposed and is analyzed mathematically. Overall heat transfer coefficients were measured on 0.180 m long heat transfer section in two scale cold model circulating fluidized bed risers at several temperature differences for ... powder at superfical gas velocity from 1.96 to 5.66 m/s, and for solids circulation fluxes up to 118.54 kg/m2s. Average heat transfer coefficients increase with suspension concentration which ranged from 0 to 86.09 kg/m3, and decrease with heat transfer temperature difference, Tw - Tb, which ranged from 12 to 121.5 degrees C Heat transfer coefficients are found to increase with riser diameter.

Book An Experimental Study of the Hydrodynamics and Cluster Formation in a Circulating Fluidized Bed  Topical Report  January 1  1991  June 30  1992

Download or read book An Experimental Study of the Hydrodynamics and Cluster Formation in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Topical Report January 1 1991 June 30 1992 written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research program involves two major aspects. First, to evaluate techniques to effectively probe the polydisperse gas-solid flows and second, to apply these techniques to study the gas-solid flow structure and clusters in the riser of a circulating fluidized bed riser. Amongst the non-intrusive techniques a modified laser Doppler technique based on the fluorescence-emission concept has been adopted and the other techniques involve pitot-static pressure probes. A circulating fluidized bed (CFB) facility has been designed, built and is currently operational at West Virginia University. The design provides for maximum versatility in investigating the hydrodynamics of the CFB riser. Two stage cyclones are employed to capture the particles exhausted from the riser. Measurements of gas velocity distribution were carried out in the circulating fluidized bed riser. with particles having a mean diameter of 112 [mu]m and a density of 2305 kg/m[sup 3] and another set of particles with a mean diameter of 145 [mu]m and a density of 2245 kg/m[sup 3]. The experimental results showed that the local gas velocity varied with the radial position, elevation, solids circulation rate, superficial velocity and particle size. A general formula for gas velocity distribution in the circulating fluidized bed riser was obtained based on the particle circulation, superficial velocity and particle diameter. The pressure drops across the L-valve were also studied for different particle sizes, L-valve diameters and aeration. The solids flowrate was found to be a function of the L-valve geometry, operating parameters and solids properties. Pressure drop of L-valve increases with increasing solids diameter and decreasing diameter of the L-valve. Pressure drop across standpipe increases as the solids diameter and diameter of the standpipe decrease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1970s there has been an explosion of industrial and academic interest in circulating fluidized beds. In part, the attention has arisen due to the environmental advantages associated with CFB (circulating . fluidized bed) combustion systems, the incorporation of riser reactors employing cir culating fluidized bed technology in petroleum refineries for fluid catalytic cracking and, to a lesser extent, the successes of CFB technology for calcina tion reactions and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. In part, it was also the case that too much attention had been devoted to bubbling fluidized beds and it was time to move on to more complex and more advantageous regime,S of operation. Since 1980 a number of CFB processes have been commercialized. There have been five successful International Circulating Fluidized Bed Confer ences beginning in 1985, the most recent taking place in Beijing in May 1996. In addition, we have witnessed a host of other papers on CFB funda mentals and applications in journals and other archival publications. There have also been several review papers and books on specific CFB topics. However, there has been no comprehensive book reviewing the field and attempting to provide an overview of both fundamentals and applications. The purpose of this book is to fill this vacuum.
