Prediction of bed pressure drop and top packed bed formation in gas-liquid-solid semi-fluidized bed with irregular homogeneous binary mixtures
E-mail:
We studied the hydrodynamics of a gas-liquid-solid semi-fluidized bed relating to packed bed formation and bed pressure drop with irregular homogeneous binary mixtures in a 0.05 m internal diameter Perspex column, with water and air (secondary) as fluidizing medium at constant static bed height of 0.08 m. A homogeneous binary mixture has been taken for easy formation of a semi-fluidized bed. Air is supplied centrally below the bottom grid in radial direction with a special design air sparger after the bed is first fluidized by the liquid. Experimental parameters studied included superficial gas and liquid velocities, average particle size and density and the bed expansion ratio. Empirical and semi-empirical models were developed. The calculated values from predicted models were compared with the experimental values and fairly good agreement was obtained.
