Study of Measurement Methods of Particle Velocity in a Spouted Bed

Abstract:

Average particle velocity measurements were carried out in a conical-cylindrical spouted bed made of acrylic. In this study an intrusive fiber optical technique which is based on a cross-correlation function between signals from its two channels was used. For a non-intrusive measurement in order to compare with the intrusive technique, images of particle movement were recorded using a high-speed video camera. The experiments were conducted in differents air velocity conditions above the minimum spouting velocity. The latter method was limited in velocity measurement only near the spouted beds wall inasmuch as the spouted bed used was a three dimensions one. On the other hand, the fiber optical is a promising technique for measuring particle velocity distributions in a three dimensions spouted bed. To predict the minimum spouting velocity in order to use this result in the measurement techniques investigation, simulations were carried out using the Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model.
