Some hydrodynamic aspects of gas-liquid fluidized beds
Hydrodynamic characteristics of up-ward flow gas-liquid fluidized bed for air-waterglass bead system was investigated using a 19 cm dameter perspex column. The gas and liquid superficial velocities in the range of 0.0-1.1 cm/s sand 0.0-3.64 cm/s respectively, and glass beads of average diameters...

| description | Hydrodynamic characteristics of up-ward flow gas-liquid fluidized bed for air-waterglass
bead system was investigated using a 19 cm dameter perspex column. The gas
and liquid superficial velocities in the range of 0.0-1.1 cm/s sand 0.0-3.64 cm/s
respectively, and glass beads of average diameters 2.50, 2.56 and 3.71 mm were
studied. The effect of gas and liquid velocities and that of particle size on the quality
of fluidization is related to various phase hold-ups in the bed. The gas holdup
increased with increasing gas velocity and it decreased with the rise in liquid velocity
whereas liquid holdup followed just the opposite trend. Howeve1; the bed porosity
increased linearly with increase in gas and liquid velocities. These observations
largely confirmed to the general trend reported in the literature. The particle size
distribution was found to have significant influence on hydrodynamic parameters. The
empirical correlations (from literature) for predicting bed porosity and liquid holdup
were found to lie within 10 to 20 percent deviations from our experimental results.
One such correlation was modified to closely fit our experimental data. The
investigation validates the existing data for scale up to large .scale, as the bed
diameter studied was closer to pilot scale than most of the works reported in the
literature |
