Hydrodynamics of gas-solids fluidization

Book ·
OSTI ID:5909695

This paper relates hydrodynamic concepts of gas-solid flows to design practices in fluidization engineering. Many of the early chapters deal with the properties and characteristics of fluid-particle transport and contacting. These fundamental discussions are applied in subsequent chapters to industrial problems including coal gasification, coal liquefaction, fluid-bed reactor modelling, and pneumatic transport. Two sections contributed by experts deal with vertical flow of particulate solids in standpipes and risers, and gas premixing techniques. Subsequent sections are concerned with particulate capture, both by dry methods and in Venturi Scrubbers.
