Constitutive equations describing the particle interactions and friction of particles and viscosity were incorporated into a hydrodynamic simulation computer program. The effect of operating conditions (inverted cone inclination and gas spouting velocity) on particle velocity and concentration in the three zones of spouted beds: spout, annulus and fountain were numerically studied. Both vertical and horizontal particle velocities increased with increasing spouting gas velocity in the spouted region. The diameter of the spout increases with decreasing inclination. As inclination is greater than 60°, there is a neck near the jet.展开更多

The influences of the coefficient of restitution due to non-ideal particle collisions on the simulated results were tested. It is demonstrated that the simulated result is strongly affected by the coefficient of restitution. Comparison of simulations with experiments in a small spout-fluid bed showed that an appropriate coefficient of restitution of 0.93 was necessary to simulate the flow characteristics in an underdesigned large size of spout-fluid bed coal gasifier with diameter of lm and height of 6m. The internal jet and gas/solid flow patterns at different operating conditions were obtained. The simulations show that an optimal gas/solid flow pattern for coal gasification is found when the spouting gas flow rate is equal to the fluidizing gas flow rate and the total of them is two and a half times the minimum fluidizing gas flow rate. Besides, the radial distributions of particle velocity and gas velocity show similar tendencies; the radial distributions of particle phase pressure due to particle collisions and the particle pseudo-temperature corresponding to the macroscopic kinetic energy of the random particle motion also show similar tendencies. These indicate that both gas drag force and particle collisions dominate the movement of particles.展开更多
