Hydrodynamics of fluidization in a semicircular bed with a jet

A hydrodynamic model of fluidization was developed that computes void fractions, pressure and solid and gas velocities in cylindrical fluidized beds. Cmputed time‐averaged gas velocity distributions of a jet compared well with Westinghouse experimental data without the use of any fitted parameters....

Description
Summary:A hydrodynamic model of fluidization was developed that computes void fractions, pressure and solid and gas velocities in cylindrical fluidized beds. Cmputed time‐averaged gas velocity distributions of a jet compared well with Westinghouse experimental data without the use of any fitted parameters. The main empirical input was a drag correlation from the literature.
