  2. 1. Particle motion, coating and drying in Wurster fluidized beds - An experimental and discrete element modeling study

    Author : Liang Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; airflow; Wurster; coating; CFD; particle; Fluidized bed; drying; PEPT; spray; DEM;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on developing a mathematical model that is capable of predicting the fluidized bed coating process. First a basic understanding of pellet motion in a Wurster fluidized bed was established by conducting a series of experiments using the positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) technique.

  4. 2. Improved Fluidized Bed Drying Technology for Wood Fuels

    Author : Jonas Berghel; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I discuss experiences from designing, building and evaluating two research plants, which use circulating, atmospheric pressure superheated steam as drying medium for drying sawdust in a fluidized bed. The increased use of pellets has created a demand for new drying equipment at the Swedish pellet plants. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heat Balance Modeling of a Stationary Fluidized-Bed Furnace Burning Biomass

    Author : Fredrik Niklasson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mixing; modeling; biomass; dispersion; heat balance; fluidized bed boiler;

    Abstract : The influence of biomass fuel properties on the heat balance of the bottom region (bed and splash zone) of a commercial-scale bubbling fluidized-bed furnace is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The experiments have been carried out at the Chalmers 12 MWth research boiler, operated under non-circulating conditions during most of the experiments. READ MORE

  6. 4. Heat and Mass Transfer to a Single Particle in Fluidized Bed

    Author : Gennadij I. Palconok; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mass transfer; turbulence; circulating fluidized beds; active particle; bubbling; heat; combustion; devolatilization;

    Abstract : Heat and mass transfer to/from a single active particle in bubbling and circulating fluidized beds have been studied with application to fluidized bed combustion. A method of calculation of the heat and mass transfer coefficients in a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) has been developed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Investigation of Nickel- and Iron-Based Oxygen Carriers for Chemical-Looping Combustion

    Author : Erik Jerndal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Carbon Dioxide Capture; Nickel Oxide; Fluidized Bed; Iron Oxide; Oxygen Carrier; Chemical-Looping Combustion; Ilmenite;

    Abstract : Carbon capture and storage has the potential of reducing emissions of CO2, generated by combustion of fossil fuels. Chemical-looping combustion is a method intended to capture CO2 without an energy consuming gas separation process. READ MORE
