The flow pattern of solids established in large-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) furnaces is of great importance for the performance of commercial CFB boilers, as it governs the heat transfer and mixing of the fuel and any other reactive solids. The solids flow pattern in the riser is crucial for the design and scaling up of large-scale CFB …

اقرأ المزيدProperties of coal gangue feed, especially its particle size distribution (PSD) and variable hardness, result in considerable impacts on both the efficiencies of the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler and wastage of crushers.
اقرأ المزيدA coal-fired circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler for 600 MW power plant is designed to integrate with the supercritical CO 2 (S CO 2) power cycle in this study.The boiler configuration, heating surface arrangement and regulation analysis were figured out based on the First Law of Thermodynamics and the basic rules of heat transfer.
اقرأ المزيدUsing data from large CFB boilers, and taking average solids concentration, size and height of the boiler-furnace as variables, a correlation for fractional wall coverage has been developed. This correlation for wall coverage and several other refinements have been used to modify the cluster renewal model of heat transfer. Predicted heat transfer …
اقرأ المزيدGasifiers are broadly classified into fluidized, fixed, and entrained bed gasifiers. Fluidized bed gasifiers, especially circulating fluidized bed gasifiers (CFBG), has major advantages over other gasifiers, such as, fuel-flexibility, high heat and mass transfer rates, high efficiency, lower emissions etc.
اقرأ المزيدABSTRACT In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is employed to investigate the hydrodynamic and combustion characteristics of biomass particles in an industrial-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) furnace. The CFD model considered here is based on the Eulerian-Lagrangian framework, the multi-phase …
اقرأ المزيدThe term "fluidized bed" obviously refers to fluid dynamics in an intensively mixed system of solid particles and gas flow which keeps the particles in dynamic movement. Different systems can be described according to observation of the technical behavior as "bubbling," "turbulent," or "circulating" fluidized bed.
