This paper presents new capabilities and proof-testing of a collisional model previously presented in O’Rourke, Zhao, and Snider (2009) applied to liquid injection into a dense-phase fluidized bed.
Snider, O’Rourke, and Zhao present a unified model for collisional exchange of mass, momentum, and energy between particles in gas/liquid/solid fluidized beds.
Gas/particle flow behavior in the riser section of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) was simulated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package by Fluent. Gas and particle flow profiles were obtained for velocity, volume fraction, pressure, and turbulence parameters for each phase.
