Measurement of solids motion in gas fluidized bed. Technical progress report, 1 March 1982-31 May 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5214830

This technical progress report covers the progress made on the project entitled Measurements of Solids Motion in Gas Fluidized Beds under Grant No. DOE-FG22-81PC40804. The research concerns the measurement of solids, particle velocity distribution, and residence time distribution using the Computer-Aided Particle Tracking Facility (CAPTF) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The design and construction of a 16-in. (nominal diameter) fluidized bed has now been completed. Development of the first phase of the computer program for automatic calibration of the distance-count rate relation required for calculating the tracer location is now complete.
