Abstract:
The behavior of particles and bubbles in a twodimensional jetting fluidized bed included in a pressured vessel was investigated experimentally by using the CCD camera technology that can detailedly record the behavior of bubbles. EulerianEulerian model was used to simulate the hydrodynamics of a pressurized jetting fluidized bed with a central jet and Vshaped distributor. The influence of gas velocity on the size of bubble, bed expansion ratio and jet penetration height at higher pressure was studied. Both experimental and simulation l results clearly indicate that the jet height decreases and the bubbles become more round when the gasvelocity of distributor is increased at higher pressure. When the jetting gasvelocity is increased, the jet height increases and the bubbles become slender. It has been verified that the result from hydrodynamic model shows a good agreement with experimental data, which suggests that the model can be used to study the fluidization properties in the pressurized fluidized bed.
