- Description
- Solid liquid fluidised beds (SLFB) are widely used in industrial processes, where solid particles of different sizes and densities are often encountered. The differences in the physical properties of particles could lead to a partial or complete segregation of one or more solid species, affecting the performance of the fluidised bed. Axial and radial dispersions of solids driven by the complex particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions are considered as the underlying mechanisms for the particles dispersion/segregation in liquid fluidised beds. Predictions of axial and radial particle dispersion for a given SLFB currently rely on a set of parameters obtained experimentally. Whilst this is an acceptable approach for a given system, the resultant model is generally not applicable to the work of others. To overcome this limitation a better understanding of the interactions between the phases is required. In this study, computational fluid dynamics was coupled with the discrete element methodology to capture the fluid mechanics as well as interactions between particle-particle and particle-fluid. The mathematical model was validated by the experimental data.
