Abstract
An experimental study of the influence of pressure on Umf and bed expansion height by the photographing with a camera was carried out in a fluidized bed of 60mm i.d.in the range of operating absolute pressure 0.1MPa~1.5MPa with two kinds of different size particles . Experimental results indicate that for the polystyrene(Ps) particle with a larger size, Umf changes with p-0.3, and for the sand particle with a smaller size, Umf changes with p-0.21. An empirical equation about Umf is proposed based on the experimental data: Umf=μdp ρg{[(34.15)2+0.05916×dp3 ρg( ρs- ρg)gμ2]12-34.15} It is found that the bed expansion height increases with the increasing of gas velocity, and increases with pressure for fixed value of UUmf, when the pressure exceeds 0.7MPa, the influence of pressure on the bed expansion height is weakened. For the polystyrene(Ps) particle, UUmf decreases with the increasing of pressure for fixed value of H/Hmf . When H/Hmf=1.4~1.6,UUmf varies with p-0.52~p-0.58.
