Abstract

Flow characteristics in a novel circulating-turbulent fluidized bed (C-TFB) was further investigated. The present work focuses on the hydrodynamic distinctions between the flow regime of turbulent fluidization, fast fluidization, dense suspension upflow and newly proposed circulating-turbulent fluidization. The experimental results show that the circulating-turbulent fluidization is a new flow regime, independent of turbulent fluidization, fast fluidization and dense suspension upflow. As a result, the gas-solid flow in the C-TFB has its inherent characteristics, different from those in CFB, TFB and HDCFB reactors.
