The radioactive particle tracking (RPT) technique is a non-intrusive experimental velocimetry
and tomography technique extensively applied to the study of hydrodynamics in a great …

In recent years, radioactive particle tracking (RPT) has emerged as a powerful noninvasive
technique for characterization and visualization of flow in opaque multiphase flow reactors …

The flow behavior of the solids phase in the fully developed region of a laboratory‐scale
circulating fluidized bed riser was studied using an assembly of sixteen NaI detectors to …

Circulating fluidized beds pose considerable challenges to our understanding. Because it is
not yet possible to produce ab initio predictions of their complex fluid dynamics, transport …

A radioactive particle tracking technique is used to measure classification velocity of a
radioactive tracer falling in a liquid–solid fluidized bed. The liquid passing through the …

It is important to know the overall solids flux and solids Cycle Time Distribution (CTD) to
properly characterize Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) systems. Although conceptually …

Mixing and circulation of monosized particles in laboratory-scale tapered spouted beds have
been characterized experimentally by measuring non-invasively the 3-D trajectory of a …

A new correlation has been developed for the purpose of evaluating the effective drag
coefficient of gas–solid systems of ascending flow. In the proposed expression, the effects of …

Bubble column reactors are widely used in the chemical and biochemical industries. They
were reactors of choice in syngas conversion to clean fuels and chemicals. Most of the …

In Brazil, concrete and cement are highly used in construction, therefore mixers are widely
used in this industry. During the fabrication process of concrete/cement, the equipment may …
