Estimates solids flow rate of a fluidized bed gasifier.

What is it about?

The flow rate of high solids-to-gas density ratios of fluidized beds is estimated in this manuscript. Usually the flow rate of solids in fluidized beds is in the low to medium range density relative to the gas. This is not reflective of high temperature conditions, where the density ratio is much higher. This manuscript estimates mass flow rate in the higher range of the density ratios.

Why is it important?

Estimates the solids flow rate in the fluidized bed at higher solids-to-gas density ratios. The correlation in this manuscript can be incorporated into computational fluid dynamic or one-dimensional models to estimate the solids flow rate out of a fluidized bed more accurately at higher temperatures. The manuscript also shows how data analytics can be used to correlate hydrodynamic parameters.
