Abstract:
In order to obtain local fluidization at particle accumulation layer in the annulus region of spouted beds, circular orifice side-jets were opened on the cone side of the spouted bed, which were regularly distributed in three-dimensional space. A three dimensional multi-jet spout-fluidized bed structure was numerically simulated using two-fluid model (TFM) incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flow. The distribution of particle volume fraction, particle velocity and uniformity of flow field in spouted bed was obtained by CFD, and the simulation results were compared with a conventional spouted bed. Key parameters such as the diameter of side-jets was optimized and analyzed. The results show that compared with simulation results in conventional spouted beds, the integral multi-jet spout-fluidized bed structure can effectively enhance radial mixing of particles in annulus and spout zones of spouted beds, especially fluidize particles in the flow dead zone at the bottom of annulus. The value of particle flow field uniformity increases with the increase of bed height, which indicates that the uniformity effect of Multi-Jets on particle flow field is mainly reflected in the conical zone of spouted beds. The best effect of side-jets on particle fluidization in spout-fluidized beds is obtained at Ai/Az=0.67. © 2019, Editorial Board of 'Journal of Chemical Engineering of Chinese Universities'.
