Abstract

Spout–fluid beds are used for a variety of processes involving particulate solids, like coating, drying, granulation and etc. The spout–fluidized bed combines a number of favorable properties of both spouted and fluidized beds. In this study, the Granular Eulerian model is used in 3-D hydrodynamic simulation of spout fluidized bed for calculation of minimum fluidization velocity. The results of simulation were compared with experimental data and good agreement was obtained. Then the effect of geometry on minimum fluidization velocity was studied. Also a review of flow regimes in different spout fluidized bed geometries was studied.
