Abstract

Experimental investigations on hydrodynamic characteristics of cylindrical pressurized spout-fluidizing bed were carried out. Two kinds of millet were used as bed materials. The operational pressure is 0.1MPa~0.4MPa (absolutely pressure). Five distinct flow patterns, i.e, fixed bed(FB), jet in fluidized bed with bubbles(JFB), jet in fluidized bed with slugging(JFS), spout with aeration(SA) and spout-fluidizing bed(SF) were identified. Effects of the static bed height and operational pressure on the flow pattern map were particularly studied. Typical flow pattern images obtained by a high- resolution digital CCD camera were presented for classifying these flow patterns. Typical flow pattern maps were plotted for describing the transitions between flow patterns with operating conditions
