Abstract
In the present work, experimental observations of the effect of coarse and fine particles, its concentration, and size on the gas holdup and frictional pressure drop with and without the presence of surfactants in a microstructured bubbling bed are reported. In-depth analysis of the effect of fine and coarse particles on gas holdup is performed. Frictional pressure drop and its component namely friction between fluid-wall, particle-wall, and fluid-particle are thoroughly investigated in two and three-phase systems. Five different particles (copper, zinc, alumina, silicon, and coal) of average particle size range (4.84−425 μm) and density range (1600 − 6310 kg/m3) are used for the present experimental study. An empirical correlation is developed to predict gas holdup and frictional pressure drop at the wide range of experimental conditions. The developed correlation is able to predict the experimental data of gas holdup and frictional pressure drop within the error range of ± 20%.
