Abstract

The effects of particle properties (density and size) on solids holdup (e{open}_s) in the riser of a Liquid-Solid Circulating Fluidized Bed (LSCFB) were investigated experimentally based on three parameters: the superficial liquid velocity (U_l), the normalized superficial liquid velocity (U_l/. U_t) and the excess superficial liquid velocity (U_l- U_t). The results showed that the excess superficial liquid velocity (U_l- U_t) among those three parameters is a more appropriate parameter to evaluate the effects of the particle properties on the solids holdup (e{open}_s), facilitating general and direct comparisons for different types of particles. A discussion on the force balance of the particles revealed that the excess superficial liquid velocity (U_l- U_t) is approximately equivalent to the average particle velocity (VP) when the solids holdup (e{open}_s) is less than 0.1. Also the solids holdup (e{open}_s) is a function of superficial solids velocity (U_s) and particle velocity (V_p), expressed quantitatively in terms of average value as εs=Us/VP=Us/(Ul-Ut) when εs<0.1.
