Book Description
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 Description
· Explains operation and scientific fundamentals of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers · Outlines practical issues in industrial use · Teaches how to optimize design for maximum reliability and efficiency · Discusses operating and maintenance issues and how to troubleshoot them This book provides practicing engineers and students with insight into the design and operation of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers through a combination of theoretical concepts and practical experience. An emphasis on combustion, hydrodynamics, heat transfer, and material issues illustrates these concepts with numerous examples from actual operating plants. The relevance of design and feed-stock parameters to the operation of a CFB boiler are also examined, along with their impacts on designs of mechanical components, including cyclones, air distributor grids, and solid recycle systems. This versatile resource explains how fluidized bed equipment works and how the basic principles of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics influence design, while providing insight into planning new projects, troubleshooting existing equipment, and appreciating the capabilities and limitations of the process. From hydrodynamics to construction and maintenance, the author covers all of the essential information needed to understand, design, operate, and maintain a complete fluidized bed system. It is a must for clean coal technology as well as for biomass power generation.

Book Description
The fluidized-bed reactor is the centerpiece of industrial fluidization processes. This book focuses on the design and operation of fluidized beds in many different industrial processes, emphasizing the rationale for choosing fluidized beds for each particular process. The book starts with a brief history of fluidization from its inception in the 1940’s. The authors present both the fluid dynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds and the extensive experimental studies of operating systems and they set them in the context of operating processes that use fluid-bed reactors. Chemical engineering students and postdocs as well as practicing engineers will find great interest in this book.
