Abstract
Pressure fluctuations were measured in three gas-solids bubbling fluidized beds (10cm, 20cm, and 30cm diameter, 1.0m high) using polyethylene particles of different sizes and particle size distributions. Both bed scale and particle size distribution significantly affect the gas-solids flow behavior. Bubble diameters measured from X-ray fluoroscopy in the 10cm diameter column were compared to various correlations in the literature.
