Purpose of simulation of gas-solid fluidized bed
Introduction
-Widely used in process industries-Complex flow-CFD simulation may reduce need for experimental analysis-Simulation results help sizing equipment
Regarding these a 2D fluidized bed is simulated using FLUENT6.3.26 and the result is compared with some experimental observations.

Fluidization
The operation by which fine solids are transformed into a fluid like state through contact with a gas or liquid.
Background
Two types of Fluidization
Particulate Fluidization Aggregative Fluidization

Background (Contd’)
What is CFD?
The science of predicting fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and related phenomena by solving the mathematical equations which govern these processes using a numerical process.

Background (Contd’)CFD-how it works
Analysis begins with a mathematical model of a physical problem
Conservation of mass, momentum and energy must be satisfied
through the region of interest
Fluid properties are modeled empirically
Simplifying assumptions are made in order to make the problem
tractable(e.g., steady-state, transient, incompressible, inviscid,
two dimensional)
Provide appropriate initial and boundary conditions for the
problem

Two approaches for Multiphase flows
1.Euler-Lagrange• Used for DPM
-Spray dryers, coal and liquid fuel combustion2.Euler-Euler
• VOF model-Free Surface flows , filling, sloshing
• Mixture Model-Sedimentation ,Cyclone separator
• Eulerian Model-Bubble columns, risers, particle suspension , fluidized beds

CFD Process
Geometry of problem is defined . Volume occupied by fluid is
divided into discrete cells.
CFD simulation is performed in three steps-
Preprocessing

CFD Process contd.Processing-
A physical model is defined Boundary conditions are defined which
involves specifying of fluid behavior and properties at the boundaries.
Equations are solved iteratively as steady state or transient state.
Post processing
Analysis and visualization of data

Conclusion Experimental phenomena is similar to that found in
literature Visualization of the simulation is almost similar to
experimental observation Difference in the bed expansion between
simulation(9 inch) and experiment(7 inch) is small Single diameter particle(0.3 mm) is used in
simulation but in experiment a range of diameter of particles(0.2-0.4 mm) is used.
Better simulation result could be found if multiple particle size distribution is used with enough time ,large iteration and smaller time steps.
