Abstract

The characteristic of particle clusters was studied in a 2-D circulating fluidized bed riser by using a digital image system and optical fiber probes. A new parameter, cluster number fraction, was proposed to characterize the clusters. The results indicated the smaller and lighter particles have higher potential to aggregate, while the effects of particle sphericity were less significant than those of particle density and size.
