Abstract
Three different bubble injection patterns including uniform, center oriented and corner oriented injection patterns over the gas distributor have been studied using a discrete bubble model in a 2-D gas solid fluidized bed. The results show that the bubble size and size distribution evolution through the bed are almost the same for uniform and corner oriented bubble injection patterns, but for the case of center oriented injection pattern, the area weighted average bubble diameter (d b,21) is greater than the others. The results show that in the center oriented injection pattern, many of the small bubbles leave the bed without coalescence and this leads to smaller d b,10 than two other cases. Moreover, in this work the size distribution evolution through the bed height is investigated in detail.
