Biomass pyrolysis is numerically studied in a spouted bed reactor. Thermophysical
processes with complex reactions are considered for gas and solid phases under Eulerian …

The spouted bed regime is an alternative to fixed and fluidized beds due to the excellent gas-
solid contact and the high reduction in operating pressure drop. Nevertheless, the most …

Multiphase flow (ie, gas–solid flow and gas–liquid–solid flow) extensively exists in
industries, yet the strong coupling between different phases poses challenges in the discrete …

Spouted beds operation quality and stability often suffer from spout deflection, which means
the spout channel shows a lateral movement instead of vertical spouting. A comprehensive …

Plug flow attracts continuous interest due to its advantages of low particle attrition, low
pipeline wear and low energy consumption. A novel non-mechanical draft tube type feeder …

Pneumatic conveying of absorber spheres in the pebble-bed high-temperature gas-cooled
reactor is a special application of pneumatic conveying technique in the nuclear …

The spouted bed has been used in the coating process of high-density nuclear fuel particle.
The particle fluidization behaviors in pseudo-2D and 3D spouted beds were simulated and …

Physical and thermochemical characteristics of biomass pyrolysis in a lab-scale spouted
bed reactor are studied by means of a reactive multiphase particle-in-cell approach in which …

A novel borescopic technique together with the monitoring of pressure fluctuation signals
(power spectral distribution, PSD) has been used to track fine particles and characterize …

Steam-biomass gasification in a three-dimensional lab-scale spouted bed gasifier is
numerically simulated via the multiphase particle-in-cell approach. The spatial distribution of …
