Hydrodynamics, mixing, and segregation in gas fluidized beds: Technical progress report, 22 October 1986 to 21 January 1987. [Glass beads]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7098537

This technical progress report covers the progress made during the period 22 October 1986 through 21 January 1987. The experimental data, obtained previously from multiparticle tracking experiments by using the Computer-Aided Particle Tracking Facility (CAPTF) in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, were examined to study the nature of the fluctuating motion of the solids in the fluidized bed. Auto- and cross-correlations of the detector signals were computed to describe the characteristic nature of the solids fluctuation motion. Another part of the study was devoted to the evaluation of the particle velocity distribution in the velocity space from the experimental data of the single-particle tracking technique. 7 figs., 2 tabs.
