ABSTRACT:
The residence time distribution data in a conical spouted bed, obtained both from the bed bottom and the bed surface at different radial positions, were analyzed to obtain the mean residence time and the Peclet number. In parallel, local flow structures of a bed with the same dimensions and operating conditions as in the experiment were generated from the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using the FLUENT codes, and then were used for the simulation of gas dispersion. The results show that CFD simulations agree reasonably well with experiments. The radial distribution of the Peclet number is quite complex, with a maximum value at r=0.135 m under three operating conditions investigated.
