Diffusivity of the solid particles in a 152-mm ID gas–solid fluidized bed was determined at
different regimes of fluidization. The gas was air at room temperature and atmospheric …

Solids movement in a gas-solid fluidized bed was monitored by a Radioactive Particle
Tracking (RPT) technique. The gas was air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure …

Existence of clusters in dense fluidized beds was investigated by analyzing the time-position
data of a tracer obtained in several radioactive particle tracking experiments. It was found …

Detailed local flow structures are investigated in bubbling and turbulent fluidized bed with
FCC particles. The operating conditions ranges from 0.06 to 1.4 m/s. Extensive experiments …

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 …

Hydrodynamics of gas–solid flow were experimentally studied in depth in a circulating
turbulent fluidized bed (CTFB) using FCC particles of 76μm at a wide range of air velocities …

Several techniques reported in the literature for measuring solids concentration and solids
velocity in (dense) gas-solid two-phase flow have been briefly reviewed. An optical …

The hydrodynamics of a gas–solid fluidized bed was studied using a combination of
experiments and CFD simulations. Experiments were conducted with polypropylene …

Local and macroscopic solids flow structure and kinematics in a 3‐D gas–liquid–solid
fluidized bed were studied using a noninvasive radioactive‐particle tracking (RPT) …

Experimental measurements of local solid mass flux were made in the riser component of
two different circulating fluidized beds (CFBs). Tests were conducted in both a lab-scale riser …
