This paper presents an experimental investigation on the spatial distribution of average rotation speed for glass beads in the upper dilute zone of a cold circulating fluidized bed(CFB) riser. It is shown that in the horizontal direction,the average rotation speed in the near-wall area is larger than that in the center area,while in the vertical direction,it decreases as the height increases. The reason resulting in this distribution is analyzed by considering several factors including particle size,particle shape,particle number density,particle collision behavior,and the surrounding flow field,etc. The effects of CFB operation conditions on the spatial distribution of average rotation speed are also studied. The results show that the increasing superficial gas velocity increases the average rotation speed of particles in the near wall area but takes nearly no effect on that in the center area. The external solids mass flux,however,takes the opposite effect. It is found that the average rotation speeds of particles in both areas are increased as the total amount of bed material increases.展开更多

The carrier phase was treated in the Eulerian frame, the particles were tracked in the Lagrangian frame, and particle-wall collision was considered. Simulation carried out at different inflow rate and mass loading ratios revealed the pressure losses in the separators, velocity field of the gas phase, and the trajectories of particles. The study results revealed the multiphase flow-dynamic features of the separators, and the relationship between separator pressure losses and different inlet velocity. The numerical simulation can provide basis both for optimal design of impacting-inertial separator used in circulating fluidized bed boiler; and for study of gas-particle multiphase circumfluence flow.展开更多

To investigate the gas-solid flow non-uniformity and its main influencing factors, an experimental study was carried out in the cold-test rig of an annular furnace CFB with six cyclones. The influence of furnace structure and cyclone arrangement on the non-uniformity of gas-solid flow was obtained. On the basis of these findings, the structure of the annular furnace CFB with six cyclones was optimized, and an optimal structure was obtained. The results show that for newly designed annular furnace CFBs, the non-uniformity of gas-solid flow among loops is no greater than that of traditional CFBs. In terms of uniformity, side cyclones rotating inward are superior to those rotating outward. The position of the side cyclones determines the basic solid circulating rate distribution trend and can dramatically improve flow non-uniformity. The middle cyclone positions and the symmetric modes of the cyclones do not determine the solid circulating rate distribution trend and have less effect on DEVGs. Forty-five degree chamfers of outer ring walls can reduce wall erosion and the non-uniformity of gas-solid flow in the circulating fluidized bed. Regarding the operating and structural conditions in this work, the optimal structure of annular furnace CFBs is Type 6: side cyclones rotating inward and b = a/2, d = 0.1c; the center of the middle cyclone inlet located at the centerline of the furnace cross-section; cyclones on the two sides of the furnace in an axisymmetric arrangement; and a furnace corner shape of 45° chamfers. Under the given operating conditions, the DEV_(Gs) for the optimal structure are approximately 4.0%~10.3%.展开更多
