Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Useful as a reference for engineers in industry and as an advanced level text for graduate engineering students, Multiphase Flow and Fluidization takes the reader beyond the theoretical to demonstrate how multiphase flow equations can be used to provide applied, practical, predictive solutions to industrial fluidization problems. Written to help advance progress in the emerging science of multiphase flow, this book begins with the development of the conservation laws and moves on through kinetic theory, clarifying many physical concepts (such as particulate viscosity and solids pressure) and introducing the new dependent variable--the volume fraction of the dispersed phase. Exercises at the end of each chapterare provided for further study and lead into applications not covered in the text itself. - Treats fluidization as a branch of transport phenomena - Demonstrates how to do transient, multidimensional simulation of multiphase processes - The first book to apply kinetic theory to flow of particulates - Is the only book to discuss numerical stability of multiphase equations and whether or not such equations are well-posed - Explains the origin of bubbles and the concept of critical granular flow - Presents clearly written exercises at the end of each chapter to facilitate understanding and further study

Download or read book The Effect of Particle Size on the Properties of Gas fluidized Beds written by K. S. Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a continuous method for determining changes in particle size and particle size distribution in fluid-bed systems has been studied experimentally. Differential pressure measurements were employed to study the effects of solid particle size on the behavior of gas-fluidized beds. The relevant bed properties are briefly described and a review given of previous work on the study of fluidized-bed quality. It is shown that, within certain limitations, measurements of bed quality can be used to indicate changes in particle size. Gas-bubble velocities, while increasing in proportion to the square root of bubble diameter, are also shown to be dependent on particle size, increasing as the particle size decreases.

Download or read book Fluidization Dynamics written by L.G. Gibilaro and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-10-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluidization Dynamics has been written for students and engineers who find themselves involved with problems concerning the fluidized state. It presents an analysis that focuses directly on the problem of predicting the fluid dynamic behaviour of a proposed fluidized system for which empirical data is limited or unavailable. The second objective is to provide a treatment of fluidization dynamics that is readily accessible to the non-specialist. The linear approach adopted in this book, starting with the formulation of predictive expressions for the basic forces that act on a fluidized particle, offers a clear way into the theory. The incorporation of the force terms into the conservation equations for mass and momentum and subsequent applications are presented in a manner that requires only the haziest recollection of elementary fluid-dynamics theory. The analyses presented in this book represent a body of research that has appeared in numerous publications over the last 20 years. L.G. Gibilaro has taken the opportunity to reorder much of the material in the light of subsequent knowledge, to correct minor errors and inconsistencies and to add detail and clarification where necessary. This material helps to form the basis for university course modules in engineering and applied science at undergraduate and graduate level, as well as focused, post-experienced courses for the process, and allied industries.· Bridges the gulf between observed behaviour and fluid-dynamic theory· Clear account of basic theory of fluidization· Accessible treatment of fluidization analysis

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.

Download or read book Measuring and Modeling Solids Movement in a Large Cold Fluidized bed Test Facility written by Muhammad A. Daous and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solids movement in large-particle fluidized beds was studied in an 18 in x 18 in (46 cm x 46 cm) tube-filled, cold fluidized bed test facility. Direct measurement of local solid mass flux in two dimensions at various locations inside the bed was made possible by a new instrument developed in this study. This instrument can be installed as a part of the bed internal tube array and hence does not interfere with the solid flow field being measured. The instrument makes use of the magnetic property of solid and requires a bed media consisting entirely of magnetic solid particles. Iron particles with a mean particle diameter of 0.032 in (0.8 mm) and a density of 387 lb/ft3 (6200 kg/m3) were used. Experiments were conducted at room temperature and atmospheric pressure with air as the fluidizing gas. Two gas velocities above the minimum fluidization velocity were used. The net local solid movement and the gross solid circulation pattern inside the bed were deduced from the vertical and one horizontal component of the local solid mass fluxes measured at various locations inside the bed. Two specific solid flow regions were found to exist. The net solids movement in the middle bubbling region of the bed was in the upward direction while adjacent to the bed walls the net solid movement was downward. The net lateral solid movement was not significant in the bubbling region of the bed. However, at the bottom of the bed this movement can be significantly enhanced by means of an uneven gas velocity distribution inside the bed. A theoretical model for the gross solid circulation observed in a freely bubbling fluidized bed is proposed. The theory is based on material and momentum balances of the net solid circulating flow inside the bed with the assumption that the solid particulate phase behaves as an incompressible fluid of low viscosity. The model predictions for the vertical solid mass flux in the bubbling region of the bed show a reasonable agreement with the experimental results.

Book excerpt: Over the last decade, circulating fluidization or fast fluidization has developed rapidly, superseding standard bubbling fluidization in many applications; for example, fast fluidization provides a better means forcontrolling emissions from the combustion of high-sulfur fuels and excels when used in boilers in steam plant and power stations. China initiated the study of fast fluidization in the early 1970s. Focusing on the substantial research cultivated in that country, with Kwauk at the leading edge, this latest volume in the Advances in Chemical Engineering Series is written in the context of the international state of the art and addresses some of the most vital issues surrounding this fluidization method."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the four of us decided to collaborate to write this book on pneumatic conveying, there were two aspects which were of some concern. Firstly, how could four people, who liveon four different continents, write a book on a fairly complex subject with such wide lines of communications? Secondly, there was the problem that two of the authors are chemical engineers.It has been noted that the majority of chemical engineers who work in the field of pneumatic conveying research have spent most of their time considering flow in vertical pipes. As such, there was some concern that the book might be biased towards vertical pneumatic conveying and that the horizontal aspects (which are clearly the most difficult!) would be somewhat neglected. We hope that you, as the reader, are going to be satisfied with the fact that you have a truly international dissertation on pneumatic conveying and, also, that there is an even spread between the theoretical and practical aspects of pneumatic conveying technology.
