Experiments were performed in a cold model circulating fluidized bed riser having a cross sectional area of 100 x100 mm2 and a height of 4800 mm. Sand having an average diameter of 231m was used as the bed material. The cross sectional average suspension density along the height of the circulating fluidized bed system with a smooth exit was investigated under fixed and variable bed inventory conditions. A model is proposed for predicting the density profiles in the two conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
