Particle-Tracking Studies for Solids Motion in a Gas Fluidized Bed

Abstract

dc:description

It is known that solids motion plays important roles in heat and mass transfer in fluidized beds. The lack of techniques for systematic, quantitative exploration of the solids velocities has seriously hampered the fundamental understanding of transport processes in a fluidized bed. The present study concerns the development of a technique, based on radioactive particle tracking, to study the solids motion in fluidized beds. The principle, design and fabrication of the facility are described in detail in this dissertation. Data reduction schemes are also presented.
