Scale-up of circulating fluidized bed coal combustors
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5193091
This project is aimed at quantifying the effects of scale-up upon the hydrodynamics of circulating fluidized bed coal combustors (CFB). In the fifth quarter of the project, we have completed the accurate size classification and the particle shape characterization for each test powder. Then we have begun the first phase of our scale-up experiments by fluidizing glass beads using mixtures of helium and carbon dioxide. We have also tested two new diagnostic probes designed to measure the frequency of collisions with the wall of the CFB riser. The present report will focus on each of these experiments. 6 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
