Abstract:Modern day tomographs enable the research community to investigate the internal flow behaviour of a fluidized bed by non invasive methods that partially overcome the opaque nature of a dense bubbling bed. Each tomographic modality has its own limitations and advantages and in the present study two modern day tomographic systems were evaluated with respect to their performance on a cold dense fluidized bed. The two tomographs investigated are an Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) tomograph and a time-resol… Show more
“…XRT is a hard field technique: the direction of a field line is not changed by the medium. Rautenbach et al [12] report a comparative study between ECT and XRT. Recent advances in fast XRT makes it possible to implement time-resolved cross-sectional measuring in fluidized beds [1].…”
“…Since fluid component involved with most of the fluidised bed applications are non conductive, ECT is more suitable for measurements and flow visualizations. (Rautenbach et al 2011) and (Rautenbach et al 2012) explain experimental studies on fluid particles and their influences in parameters using ECT and x-ray tomographic techniques. Investigations of pneumatic conveying of solid particles has also been done by (Dyakowski & Jaworski 2003) and .…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
