Abstract
Supersonic nozzles are applied to various fluidized bed processes, such as the production of pharmaceutical powders, fluid catalytic cracking, and fluid coking. In applications such as jet milling, it is essential to entrain a maximum flow-rate of solids from the fluidized bed into the jet cavity. Studies of solid entrainment rate into gas jets have been mostly conducted with subsonic jets and none with convergent-divergent nozzles. The purpose of this research is to study solids entrainment into jets issuing from supersonic convergent-divergent nozzles, and particularly the effects of nozzle size, nozzle mass flow-rate, injection gas properties and fluidization velocity. A novel accurate technique is developed to measure solids entrainment into jets.
