Hydrodynamics, mixing and segregation in gas fluidized beds. Technical progress report, 22 September 1985-21 January 1986
This research concerns the measurements and formulation of solids transport and mixing in a fluidized bed using the Computer-Aided Particle Tracking Facility (CAPTF) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign which provide direct experimental determination of the time-averaged as well as the instantaneous solids velocities. The principle of the operation of CAPTF for a single radioactive particle was reported (Lin, J-S., Chen, M.M., and Chao, B.T., ''A Novel Radioactive Particle Tracking Facility for Measurement of Solids Motion in Gas Fluidized Beds,'' AIChE Journal, Vol. 31, No. 3, 1985, 1985, pp. 465-473). Recently, much improvement on the data acquisition and processing schemes has been made which greatly increased the accuracy and the capability of the facility. 1 refs., 7 figs.
