One of the current challenges of wastewater treatment is the presence of recalcitrant
pollutants which are difficult to remove using conventional treatment technologies. This …

Abstract Fluidized Beds (FBs) are widely employed in the petroleum and coal energy sector
because they offer excellent contact, both in terms of high surface area and long times. The …

A CCD camera technique was developed to measure instantaneous particle velocities in a
thin bubbling bed for fluidization of 530 μm glass beads. The hydrodynamic velocities were …

Gas and solids mixing characteristics in the bubbling and turbulent regimes of a gas‐solid
fluidized bed are examined using helium and phosphor tracer techniques to obtain the gas …

The design of fuel feed ports in a large-scale fluidized bed combustor depends on the fuel
characteristics and lateral solids mixing. However, the reported values of the effective lateral …

Efficient heat transfer is crucial in industrial fluidized beds, especially for highly exothermic
or endothermic processes. In this study, the influence of adding fines on the heat transfer …

Detailed local flow structures are investigated in bubbling and turbulent fluidized bed with
FCC particles. The operating conditions ranges from 0.06 to 1.4 m/s. Extensive experiments …

The solid behavior in a turbulent fluidized bed was studied by combination of experimental
measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Solid fractions were …

This paper presents a novel technique for particle tracking in 2-dimensional fluidized beds
operated under ambient conditions. The method is applied to study the mixing mechanisms …

Mixing of particles is important in fluidized beds. For a more accurate and realistic
investigation of this process, it is necessary to consider the inter-particle forces. The effect of …
