Characterization of bubble behaviors in a dense phase pulsed gas-solid fluidized bed for dry coal processing

Pulsed gas-solid fluidized beds can effectively separate fine coal,and bubbles play an important role in creating suitable separation conditions.The present study performed statistical and image analyses of the evolution of bubbles in a two-dimensional pulsed gas-solid fluidized bed using a high-speed dynamic camera.The effects of apparent gas velocity,pulsation frequency and particle size on bubble characteristics and bed expansi on were analyzed.The results indicate that,when a fluctuation freque ncy is added,the expa nsion height of the bed in creases,the effect of attachme nt to the bed wall decreases,the leading diameter and rising velocity of the bubbles both decrease and the degree of bubble deformation increases.These trends are also more obvious for fine particles.These findings dem on strate that a high density pulsed gas-solid fluidized bed can effectively combine gases and solids to produce a uniform,stable mixture.The bubble diameter and rising velocity were also simulated in the present work,and the relationship between the two was established using a fitting model with an error within 5%.This model provides an effective means of predicting bubble velocity as well as studying the distribution of the bubble phase and improving the stability of the bed density.

Simulation and visualization of spraying droplets behavior and deposition within virtual rice canopy

Models for accurately simulating pesticide droplet deposition and transmission mechanism in rice canopies can provide an effective and economic tool to optimize methods for spraying pesticides,adjuvant formulation,and spray parameters.However,the current studies on the modeling of spray droplet deposition within rice plants are still very limited.Aiming at this problem,a method to model and visualize spray transmission and deposition within the canopy of rice plants was proposed.Firstly,a particle system was used to simulate the spraying scene of droplets.Then an improved method to determine the behavior of rebound and shatter of the droplets in the virtual scene was proposed.The deposition of spraying droplets on a leaf was calculated according to the inclination angles of the leaf,the characteristics of the leaf surface,and the physical and spatial characteristics of the droplets.The experiment shows that the method can simulate the behavior of the spraying droplets within a virtual scene of a rice plant,which may provide a reference for the study of spray deposition in the canopy of the crop.
