- Abstract
- Computational particle-fluid dynamics (CPFD) simulations were carried out to determine the bed pressure drop and bubble behavior in bubbling fluidized beds produced using a shroud nozzle distributor. The fluidized bed had an internal diameter of 03 m and height of 2.4 m and was modeled using Barracuda, commercial CPFD software. The bed materials consisted of metal-grade silicon particles with d(p), rho(p), and U-mf of 150 mu m, 2330 kg/m(3), and 0.02 m/s, respectively. The total bed inventory and the static bed height were 75 kg and 0.8 m, respectively. Air was used as the fluidizing gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and was uniformly supplied at the inlet boundary below the distributor. The superficial gas velocity was controlled in the range between 0.07 and 0.17m/s, and the restitution coefficient of the collision model and the particle normal stress parameter, which affected the particle particle interaction, were adjusted to obtain accurate simulation data. The results of each simulation were validated by comparing the pressure drop profile to that obtained through experiments under the same conditions. The values predicted for the bed pressure drop and the bubble volume fraction changed according to the restitution coefficient in the collision model and the particle normal stress. At P-s = 5, the bed pressure drop and the bubble flow characteristics were similar to those obtained from the experimental data. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
