Study of Heat Transfer and Hydrodynamics in a Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed Reactor Experimentally and Numerically

Abstract: —In this research, the heat transfer and hydrodynamics of a gas–solid fluidized bed reactor were studied experimentally and computationally. A multi-fluid Eulerian computational model incorporating the kinetic theory for solid particles was developed and used to simulate the heat conducting gas–solid flows in a fluidized bed configuration. Momentum exchange coefficients were evaluated using the Syamlal–O’Brien drag functions. Temperature distributions of different phases in the reactor were also computed. Good… Show more

“…The discretized governing equations were solved by the finite volume method employing the Semiimplicit Method for the Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm that was developed by Patankar and Spalding [4] for multiphase flow using the Partial Elimination Algorithm (PEA). Several research groups [10,11,[23][24][25][26][33][34][35][36] have used extensions of the SIMPLE method, which appears to be the method of choice in commercial CFD codes [7,[9][10][11]. In this study, the second-order discretization schemes at time step of 0.001 s with 10 −3 convergence criterion were used in numerical procedure.…”

“…Inlet gas pressure was calculated to be higher than atmospheric by this value; in this situation, the dense phase inlet pressure is equal to atmospheric. The mass holdup was calculated based on the data provided by Hamzehei et al [485]static bed height of 0.4m and static solids volume fraction of 0.6. Based on the data and on the reactor dimensions solids holdup is calculated as approximately 21.5 kg.…”
