摘要
The orientation of cylindrical particles in a gas-solid circulating fluidized bed was investigated by estab- lishing a three-dimensional Euler-Lagrange model on the basis of rigid kinetics, impact kinetics and gas-solid two-phase flow theory. The resulting simulation indicated that the model could well illustrate the orientation of cylindrical particles in a riser during fluidization. The influences of bed structure and operation parameters on orientation of cylindrical particles were then studied and compared with related experimental results. The simulation results showed that the majority of cylindrical particles move with small nutation angles in the riser, the orientation of cylindrical particles is affected more obviously by their positions than by their slenderness and local gas velocities. The simulation results well agree with experiments, thus validating the proposed model and computation.
