Abstract:The use of fluidization assistance can greatly enhance the fluidization hydrodynamics of powders that exhibit poor fluidization behavior. Compared to other assistance techniques, pulsed flow assistance is a promising technique for improving conventional fluidization because of its energy efficiency and ease of process implementation. However, the inlet flow configuration of pulsed flow can significantly affect the bed hydrodynamics. In this study, the conventional single drainage (SD) flow strategy was modifie… Show more
“…Nanomaterials can also be engineered into the industrial production so as to improve the production process, elevate production efficiency, and optimize product performance. The work by Ali and coworkers [ 15 ] studied the effect of inlet flow strategies on the dynamics of pulsed fluidized bed of nanopowder. They changed the conventional single-drainage (SD) flow strategy to the modified double-drainage (MDD) flow strategy, which improved the production process by purging the primary flow during the non-flow period of the pulse to eliminate pressure buildup in the inlet flow line while providing a second drainage path to the residual gas.…”
