Experimental and Theoretical Study of Minimum Fluidization Velocity and Void Fraction of a Limestone Based CO2 Sorbent

Multiphase flow simulations created using Barracuda Virtual Reactor are used to compare with experimental data for determining minimum fluidization velocity for four different sizes of particles.

Avoid Fluidization Pitfalls

Fluidized beds are susceptible to such problems as bed slugging, loss of fines, and gas bypassing. This article explains how to avoid these pitfalls.
