FluidisationPhenomenon when solid particles are exposed to an up-going gas (or liquid) flow. When the gas velocity in a packed bed is increased to a level at which the pressure loss corresponds to the bed gravity, the bed expands and the particles will draw away from each other. The bed has then turned from a packed bed into a fluidised bed. The increased void fraction enables the gas to easier pass through, and a kind of equilibrium is attained.

8Fluidisation
The individual particles in a fluidised bed are in constant motion, colliding witheach other and with the walls of the vessel. Different flow types occur in fluidised beds and spouting beds.

8Fluidisation
Advantages:- good mixing of the particles → fairly uniform concentration and temperature- the vessel of well-mixed solids represents a large thermal flywheel that resists temperature changes- large contact surface between particles and gas → efficient heat and mass transfer, resulting in fast chemical reactions- constantly fresh particle surface due to abrasion- in certain cases, easy to handle due to the liquid like behavior of the gas-particle suspension
Disadvantages:- may need high fan power- particles may sometimes crumble too fast, sometimes get lumped together to an agglomerate, which can be difficult to fluidize- difficult to realize the principle of counter flow- erosion of the vessel and pipes can be big- expensive to regain particles (and powder)- inefficient contacting between gas and particles in bubbling beds of fine particles- rapid mixing cause non-uniform residence times of solids

8Design considerations
1. Can the fluidised bed process be realized?
2. Pressure loss in order to evaluate the needed fan power.
3. Porosity (voidage) from the measurement of the vertical pressure profile.
4. Minimum fluidisation velocity required to transform the packed bed into a fluidised bed.
5. Terminal velocity of the particles in order to clarify when significant entrainment occurs.
6. Dimensional analysis for evaluating experimental and industrial fluidisationConditions: scale-up

Geldart’s FB classificationThe first step in designing a fluidisation process is to clarify if it can be realizedwith the particles and gas in question. The particle diameter and density, as wellas the gas density, will tell what kind of fluidizing behavior can be expected.
Cohesive: difficult to fluidize due to cohesion
example: cement
Aeratable: bubble free velocity range exists
example: cracking catalyst
Sand-like: bubbles occur almostimmediately
example: construction sand
Spoutable: can be fluidised in aspouting bed, poormixing
example: coffee beans

Pressure drop
distributor (perforatedsupport plate)
bed
How much fan power will be needed? The amount can be calculated from the press loss of the air distributor and the bed: power ≈ flow * pressure drop.
air inlet distributoror ”windbox”
The pressure drop over the air distributor that is required for uniform fluidisation is of the order of 0.2-1 times the pressure drop over the bed. Usually lowest pressure drop in circulating fluidised beds; highest in bubbling beds.

Pressure loss across the bed
The pressure loss in a packed bed is proportional to w1…2, but when the velocity is so high that the bed becomes fluidised, the pressure loss is more or less constant. The well aerated gas-solid suspension can then easily deform without appreciable resistance, like a liquid. The pressure required for injection of a gas at the bottom is roughly the static pressure of the gas-solid suspension, and is independent of the gas flow rate.
w is the superficialgas velocity

8Non-spherical particles
dpV
V
The bed is usually made up of non-spherical particles and for comparison it is most convenient to derive an equivalent spherical diameter dp, which is defined as the diameter of a equivalent sphere, which have the same volume as the non-spherical particle that the bed is made up of.
In empirical equations (e.g. Ergun equation) it is, however, the particle surface area that is important for evaluating the frictional resistance to gas flow and the heterogeneous chemical reactions. The form factor or shape factor 0 ≤ Ψ ≤ 1 is then used, and it is defined as the surface area of the equivalent sphere divided by the surface area of the actual particle that the bed is made up of.

Pressure loss across the bedThe buoyancy force Fbuoyancy can in practical cases be neglected and the pressure loss of the fluidised bed can be estimated if the weight of the particles is known.
The packed bed porosity ε is then needed and can be derived by an Experimental approximate formula or from a diagram,

42.0
where the shape factor, or sphericity Ψ is the surface area of an equivalent sphere (equal volume as the particle) divided by the surface of the actual particle that the bed is made up of (≤1).

wmf is the velocity when a packed bed is turned into a fluidised bed. It can be derived from the expression for pressure loss in packed beds,
and the expression for pressure loss in fluidised beds,

These expressions are set equal and w is solved for. Both expressions canadditionally be utilized for evaluating the bed expansion (uniform porosity ε)at w > wmf.

wT is the difference in velocity between the gas and the particle in fully developed flow conditions (no acceleration); the velocity of the gas when the particle is kept in place by the gas flow, or the falling velocity of a particle in a stagnant fluid. If the gas velocity around a particle exceeds the terminal velocity, the bed will loose the particle (entrainment).

from a mixture of particles having the mass fractions Xi with the diameters di.
This gives a mean diameter of the particles corresponding to “the rightparticle surface”, i.e. the particle diameter that has the same specific surface as that of the full distribution. The area can then be estimated from the weight.

Imporant aspect consideringheat / mass transfer analogy :
inert, bed material particles areimportant from a heat transferpoint of view, not from a mass
transfer point of view.
Inert particles contribute to heat transfer, not to mass transfer !!

11.1 Calculate the mean diameter of a material with following distribution,
11.2 A laboratory scale fluidised bed is fed with air (20ºC) with the volumetric flow of 125 l/min. The distributor (1 mm thick) has 170 small holes, each with a diameter of 0.3 mm. Calculate the pressure loss in the distributor.
11.3 A fluidised bed reactor (h = 10 m, Acs = 2,5 m2) is fed with 12.5 m3/s air (g = 0,310 kg/m3 and g = 44,4·10-6 kg/ms). The bed is made up of particles with a diameter dp of 0,320 mm with a density ρp of 2600 kg/m3. The static pressure has been measured at different heights,
Calculate the porosity, which is supposed to be constant, in the area between 0 m 0.2 m and 7 m 10 m.

Exercises 11 11.4 Calculate the minimum fluidisation velocity wmf for a bed of sharp sand particles (
=160 μm, ψ=0.67, ρp=2600 kg/m3) when the fluidizing gas is ambient air (ρg=1.2 kg/m3, ηg=18·10-6 kg/(m s). The porosity of the packed bed is 0.55.
11.5 Can the particlesa) be retained in the bed although the gas velocity is higher that the terminal velocity?b) be lost from the bed although the gas velocity is less than terminal velocity?
11.6 An industrial fluidised bed reactor is going to use particles with dp=1.50 mm and ρp=2600 kg/m3. The fluidizing gas (ρg=0.45 kg/m3, ηg=4.3·10-5 kg/ms) has a planned superficial velocity of 5 m/s. The porosity need to be known before the actual process can be started, but because the particles and the gas are very expensive, air (ρg=1.2 kg/m3, ηg=1.9·10-5 kg/ms) and particles of a cheaper test material are used instead. Calculate by means of dimensional analysis the values for the test material, dp and ρp, as well as the superficial velocity of the air in the porosity evaluation experiment. Can the industrial fluidised bed reactor be utilized in the test?
