A numerical simulation was conducted to study the effect of pressure on bubble dynamics in a gas-solid fluidized bed The gas flow was modeled using the continuum theory and the solid phase by the discrete element method (DEM) To validate the simulation results calculated local pressure fluctuations were compared with corresponding experimental data of 1-mm polyethylene particles It was shown that the model successfully predicts the hydrodynamic features of the fluidized bed as observed in the experiments Influence of pressure on bubble rise characteristics such as bubble rise path bubble stability average bubbles diameter and bubble velocity through the bed was investigated The simulation results are in conformity with current hydrodynamic theories and concepts for fluidized beds at high pressures The results show further that elevated pressure reduces bubble growth velocity and stability and enhances bubble gyration through the bed leading to change in bed flow structure (C) 2010 Chinese Society of Particuology and Institute of Process Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences Published by Elsevier B V All rights reserved

Thermo-mechanical stability of axially graded Rayleigh pipes

Ali Ebrahimi-Mamaghani, Rahmat Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Reza Zarghami, Navid Mostoufi

Summary: The thermo-mechanical vibrations of axially functionally graded pipes conveying fluid are investigated in order to enhance the stability of fluid-interaction systems. The study explores the influence of different factors, such as material gradient, power index, boundary conditions, rotary inertia factor, temperature rise, and different boundary conditions, on the dynamic configuration of the system. The results show that detached stable regions emerge and develop by increasing the power index at sufficiently high mass ratios.

Summary: Around 75% of raw materials in the chemical industry and 50% of consumer products are in the form of powders or granular solids. Researchers use various techniques, including fibre optic probes, to study the hydrodynamics of fluid-solid systems. Fibre optic probes are simple, inexpensive, and sensitive tools that can measure local properties such as particle velocity, solids fraction, and voids in heterogeneous systems. MATLAB codes and experimental data are provided as examples for processing raw signals and obtaining information on gas/solids/bubble holdup, particle and bubble velocity, bubble size, and solids flux.

CFD-DEM modeling of breakage of non-spherical particles in fluidized beds

Hamed Aali, Saman Kazemi, Roxana Saghafian Larijani, Reza Zarghami, Navid Mostoufi

Summary: This study aims to simulate the breakage of nonspherical rod-shaped particles in a pseudo-2D fluidized bed using a coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method. The effect of inlet gas velocity and size of particles on breakage rate and bed height was examined. It was observed that the breakage phenomenon is more severe at the beginning of simulation, and its intensity decreases over time. The breakage rate is directly related to the diameter of constituent spheres of particles and fluidization gas velocity, and most breakages occur near the bed wall.

Polarized imaging dynamic light scattering for simultaneous measurement of nanoparticle size and morphology

Bingyao Wang, Tianyi Cai, Xiaoshu Cai, Wu Zhou, Zeqi Liu

Summary: The size and morphology of nanoparticles significantly impact their performance. Current methods, such as electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy, have limitations in sample preparation, processing time, and quantitative characterization. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a fast, accurate, and statistical method for measuring nanoparticle size and morphology. In this study, a new method called polarized imaging dynamic light scattering (PIDLS) is proposed, which irradiates nanoparticles with a vertical linearly polarized laser beam and utilizes a polarization camera to collect dynamic light scattering images at different polarization directions. The method effectively determines particle size, morphology, and sphericity based on depolarization patterns and degree of linear polarization. PIDLS also enables simultaneous measurement of particle size and morphology distributions, allowing for the evaluation of particle uniformity. The effectiveness of PIDLS is validated with the measurement of five types of industrial titanium dioxide.

Soft coarse-grained particle model for particle-fluid systems

Yanhao Ye, Ji Xu, Wei Ge

Summary: By modeling neighboring particles as a single coarse-grained particle, the discrete particle method (DPM) can now simulate industrial-scale particle-fluid systems. However, there is still a lack of a systematic approach to determine the properties and interaction models of these coarse-grained particles, which affects the predictability of the method. In this study, kernel functions for modeling the coarse-grained particles are constructed based on the analysis of collisions between predefined particle groups, and the model parameters are determined by equating the statistical properties of the coarse-grained particles to those of the real particles. This approach has been effective in simulating the homogeneous cooling of granular gas and experimental fluidized beds.

A refined representation method of the particle size distribution curve based on grading entropy

Xing Li, Qun Chen, Zhaozhao Liu, Cheng Zhou, Chen Wang, Chen Chen

Summary: The particle size distribution (PSD) curve is an important expression of soil properties. However, existing characteristic parameters can only represent some points of the curve and fail to capture all the information. This paper introduces a new fraction characteristic parameter based on grading entropy and proposes a refined presentation method for the PSD curve. The new method not only represents the differences in curve width more accurately but also has higher discrimination ability. The application of this method in describing deposit distribution and predicting soil hydraulic conductivity is discussed. The research results can provide reference for the refined representation of PSD curves.

Qingjin Zhang, Liangliang Fu, Guangwen Xu, Dingrong Bai

Summary: This study comprehensively analyzes the temperature effect on the minimum fluidization velocity (Umf) in fluidized-bed reactors. The analysis reveals the influence of temperature on Umf is determined by the relative importance of hydrodynamic forces and interparticle forces, which result in changes in gas properties, bed voidage, and physiochemical characteristics of particles. An equation is derived to predict the temperature influences on Umf under broad temperature conditions.

Hydrodynamics and OCM reaction performance in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor and a riser reactor

Min Cai, Shuangzhu Kong, Sheng Chen, Mengxi Liu, Chunxi Lu

Summary: Reasonable reactor design is crucial for increasing the C2 yield in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). This study focused on large-scale fluidized bed reactors and conducted experiments and simulations to investigate their hydrodynamics and reaction performance. The results showed that the consecutive reactions of ethylene were severe in the bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor due to gas back-mixing, high solids holdup, and non-uniform solids distribution, while they were negligible in the riser reactor. Both reactors achieved isothermal operation for the OCM process, with the riser reactor showing higher C2 selectivity and yield compared to the BFB reactor. This study provides valuable information for OCM reactor design and commercialization.
