Friction Between Gas-Solid Suspension and Circulating Fluidized Bed Downers

ABSTRACT:
Friction between co-current downflow gas-solid suspension and the column wall was investigated. A new model to predict pressure drops due to friction between the gas-solid suspension in the fully developed section and the downer wall was developed. The results show that the friction between the gas-solids suspension and the downer wall causes a significant deviation of the apparent solids concentrations from the actual ones, especially for those operating conditions with higher superficial gas velocities and solids circulation rates. When the superficial gas velocity is greater than 8 m/s, the actual solids concentrations in the fully developed region of the downer can be up to 2~3 times of the apparent values. After the frictional pressure drop is considered, the predicted actual solids concentrations by the proposed model agree well with the experimental values.
