Experimental study on secondary air mixing along the bed height in a circulating fluidized bed with a multitracer-gas method

A multitracer-gas method was proposed to study the secondary air(SA)mixing along the bed height in a circulating fluidized bed(CFB)using carbon monoxide(CO),oxygen(O_(2)),and carbon dioxide(CO_(2))as tracer gases.Experiments were carried out on a cold CFB test rig with a cross-section of 0.42 m×0.73 m and a height of 5.50 m.The effects of superficial velocity,SA ratio,bed inventory,and particle diameter on the SA mixing were investigated.The results indicate that there are some differences in the measurement results obtained using different tracer gases,wherein the deviation between CO and CO_(2) ranges from 42%to 66%and that between O_(2) and CO_(2) ranges from 45%to 71%in the lower part of the fluidized bed.However,these differences became less pronounced as the bed height increased.Besides,the high solid concentration and fine particle diameter in the CFB may weaken the difference.The measurement results of different tracer gases show the same trends under the variation of operating parameters.Increasing superficial velocity and SA ratio and decreasing particle diameter result in better mixing of the SA.The effect of bed inventory on SA mixing is not monotonic.

Particle velocity measurement of binary mixtures in the riser of a circulating fluidized bed by the combined use of electrostatic sensing and high-speed imaging

The flow dynamics of binary particle mixtures in the fluidized bed needs to be monitored in order to optimize the related industrial processes.In this paper,electrostatic sensing and high-speed imaging are applied to measure the velocities of polyethylene and sand particles in the binary particle mixtures in fluidization.Experimental studies were conducted on a lab-scale cold circulating fluidized bed.Correlation function between electrostatic signals from upstream and downstream electrodes placed along the riser shows two peaks that represent transit times for the two types of particles.To verify the above results,high-speed imaging was adopted to capture the flow images of particle mixtures.Particle Image Velocimetry and Particle Tracking Velocimetry algorithms were utilized to process the resulted images in order to measure the velocities of polyethylene and sand particles.The reasons for two-peak correlation functions are illustrated based on the frequency spectrums of the mono-solid-phase electrostatic signals and the velocity difference between polyethylene and sand particles.Finally,comparisons on the velocities obtained from electrostatic sensing and high-speed imaging demonstrate the electrostatic sensor can roughly estimate the particle velocity of binary particle mixtures in the near wall region of the circulating fluidized bed.

Incompatible thermal deformation of interlayers and corresponding damage mechanism of high-speed railway track structure

In the service period,the instability of ballastless track bed are mostly related to the damage of interlayers which are mainly resulted from the incompatible thermal deformation of interlayers.The temperature field within the ballastless track bed shows significant non-uniformity due to the large difference in the materials of various structure layers,leading to a considerable difference in the force bearing of different structure layers.Unit Ballastless Track Bed(UBTB)is most significantly affected by temperature gradient.The thermal deformation of interlayers within UBTB follows the trend of ellipsoid-shape buckling under the effect of the temperature gradient,resulting in a variation of the contact relationship between structure layers and a significant periodic irregularity on the rail.When the train travels on the periodically irregular rail,the structure layers are locally contacted,and the contact zone moves with the variation of the wheel position.This wheel-followed local contact greatly magnifies the interlayer stress,causes interlayer damage,and leads to a considerable increase in the bending moment of the track slab.Continuous Ballastless Track Bed(CBTB)is most significantly affected by the overall temperature variation,which may cause damage to the joint in CBTB.Under the combined action of the overall temperature rise and the temperature gradient,the interlayer damage continuously expands,resulting in bonding failure between structural layers.The thermal force in the continuous track slabs will cause the up-heave buckling and the sudden large deformation of the track slab,and the loss of constraint boundary of the horizontal stability.For the design of a ballastless track structure,the change of bearing status and structural damage related to the incompatible thermal deformation of interlayers should be considered.

Radial mixing and segregation of granular bed bi-dispersed both in particle size and density within horizontal rotating drum

Taking simultaneous variations in both particle volume and density into account, the radial mixing and segregation of binary granular bed in a rotating drum half loaded were investigated by a 3D discrete element method. Then, based on the competition theory of condensation and percolation, radial segregation due to differences in particle volume and/or density was analyzed. The results show that if either percolation effect induced by volume difference or condensation effect induced by density difference dominates in the active layer of moving bed, separation will occur. Controlling the volume ratio or density ratio of the two types of particles can achieve an equilibrium state between percolation and condensation, and then homogenous mixture can be obtained. When the percolation balances with the condensation, the relationship between volume ratioand density ratiopresents nearly a power function. Scaling up a rotating drum will not affect the mixing degree of the granular bed so long as the volume ratio and density ratio are predefined.

Numerical simulation of local and global mixing/segregation characteristics in a gas–solid fluidized bed

Researches on solids mixing and segregation are of great significance for the operation and design of fluidized bed reactors.In this paper,the local and global mixing and segregation characteristics of binary mixtures were investigated in a gas–solid fluidized bed by computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method(CFD-DEM)coupled approach.A methodology based on solids mixing entropy was developed to quantitatively calculate the mixing degree and time of the bed.The mixing curves of global mixing entropy were acquired,and the distribution maps of local mixing entropy and mixing time were also obtained.By comparing different operating conditions,the effects of superficial gas velocity,particle density ratio and size ratio on mixing/segregation behavior were discussed.Results showed that for the partial mixing state,the fluidized bed can be divided into three parts along the bed height:complete segregation area,transition area and stable mixing area.These areas showed different mixing/segregation processes.Increasing gas velocity promoted the local and global mixing of binary mixtures.The increase in particle density ratio and size ratio enlarged the complete segregation area,reduced the mixing degree and increased the mixing time in the stable mixing area.

Mixing and Segregation Characteristics of Binary Granular Material in Tapered Fluidized Bed: A CFD Study

The particle flow pattern, mixing and granule segregation in a tapered fluidized bed have been studied along with the hydrodynamics. At first the bed of varying total mass and granule fractions is fluidized then the bed is defluidized to freeze the composition, the bed is sectioned to layers and the composition in each layer is determined by sieving. Materials used in the present study are dolomite and glass beads with different B.S.S Sizes. A series of unsteady, three fluid CFD simulations were performed using FLUENTTM 6.2. Simulation parameters viz. solution technique, grid, maximum packing fraction and operating conditions like gas velocity were investigated for relative effects on particle mixing and segregation. Good arrangement of solid volume fraction profile was obtained between the experimental results and simulation results for regular particles.

Theoretical analysis on ground vibration attenuation using sub-track asphalt layer in high-speed rails

Using a finite element method （FEM） program, a Portland cement concrete slab trackbed （So）, and a sub- track asphalt roadbed （RAC-S） were modeled under high- speed train loads to analyze their responses to ground vibration attenuation, by considering 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 thick sub-track asphalt layer replaced on the top of the upper subgrade. FEM results show that the vibration amplitude of RAC-S is at least three times lower than the vibration for So. The maximum vibration amplitude of RAC-S is linearly increased with train speed. The vertical acceleration is found to be reduced by more than 10 % when the asphalt layer thickness is increased from 10 to 20 cm. However, the reduction in vertical acceleration is only about 1% when the thickness of the asphalt layer changes from 20 to 30 cm. The vibration level is slightly lower if the asphalt layer has higher resilient modulus in the seasons of autumn or winter. This theoretical analysis indicates that a railway substructure that consists of a 10-20 cm thick high modulus asphalt layer located at the top of trackbed shows a good performance in ground vibration control for high-speed rails.

Segregation/Mixing Behavior of Binary Particles and Formation of Double-Density-Fluidized Bed

The current separator with air dense medium fluidized bed can only turn out two products at the same time with a single separating density. The double density fluidized bed means that two separating areas with different densities are formed in a fluidized cascade. In each separating area, the bed density is uniform and meets the technical requirement of coal preparation respectively. Therefore, the processed materials can be separated into three products according to density. In this paper, the fluidized behaviors of binary dense media were experimentally studied and the distribution characteristics of particle concentration and bed density in different bed structure were discussed. The segregation and mixing mechanisms of binary dense media were analyzed. It was testified that the pyramidal part designed in the bed structure played a key role in the formation of double density fluidized bed. The pyramidal part intensified the segregation of binary particles between two separating areas and strengthened the mixing in the low density area, which made for the density uniform of the area.

钱塘江北岸古海塘堤脚加固工程中,辅助围堰施工的临时性管袋黏土混合式丁坝对工程的顺利进行、提高施工效率起着至关重要的作用,然而目前对其周围水沙运动的研究较少,且缺乏相关实测资料。考虑混合式丁坝修建的动态过程,利用无人机拍摄水流视频结合LSPIV(粒子图像测速)处理技术对丁坝修建前、中、后期周围的流场进行分析,并对丁坝附近的地形进行跟踪测量,同时对不同潮差的水流含沙量进行现场测定。结果表明,丁坝具有改变水流方向,减少水流对河岸冲刷的作用,且丁坝越长,挑流作用越明显,为围堰施工提供了较为平缓的水流条件;混合式丁坝对坝后处的促淤效果明显,且坝后地形变化与含沙量密切相关,潮差越大,水体含沙量越高,丁坝后河床淤积幅度越大,有利于提高围堰的施工效率。研究成果对之后相关物理模型和数值模拟的研究提供数据支持。

为了研究生物质在低负荷下循环流化床机组深度调峰中的应用潜力,本文结合实验和数值模拟方法,分析不同生物质掺混比例对CFB锅炉内部温度、压力、气体浓度及颗粒动态的影响。研究发现,生物质掺混比为10%、20%时,循环流化床密相区升温速率提高2~8℃/min,但稳定温度随掺混比增加而降低。为深入了解造成这种现象的原因,分别对3种工况进行数值计算后发现:掺烧比由0%提升至20%时,密相区压降由900 Pa减少至700 Pa;CO浓度由10%降低至5%;CO_(2)浓度从17%降低至12%;颗粒浓度降低了18%。相对地,稀相区各组分浓度出现增加,特别是颗粒浓度增加了达38%。表明生物质的掺入促使燃烧区域向炉膛中上部移动。这一发现证明了生物质掺烧能有效提高低负荷下炉内升温特性且满足“双碳”目标下的需求,为低负荷下电网调峰提供了新方法。
