Abstract
Abstract An Eulerian model is presented that has been developed to describe the hydrodynamics of a rectangular slot, spouted bed experimental apparatus. This study was undertaken as a part of a project focused on the development of a Spouted Bed Electrolytic Reactor (SBER) for metals recovery. The results presented here include the effects of particle loading, inlet jet velocity, and bed geometry on void fraction distributions, pressure drop, and particle recirculation rate. The simulations show that pressure drop and particle recirculation rate both increase with inlet jet velocity and particle loading. However, at some point “choking” is predicted such that the particle recirculation rate will then remain constant with increasing particle loading and inlet jet velocity.
