  2. 1. Phase Doppler Anemometry in Unsteady Two-Phase Flow: A Novel Post-Processing Data Algorithm

    Author : Tobias Bergenblock; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Circulating fluidized bed; Particle groups; Phase Doppler anemometry; Eulerian Lagrangian simulation; Particle flow measurements; Two-phase flow;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a novel method to estimate particle fluctuations in unsteady two-phase flow using phase Doppler anemometry (PDA). A comprehensive derivation and asuccessful validation of a PDA data post-processing algorithm are given. READ MORE

  4. 2. Solids flows in circulating fluidized beds: explorations of phenomena with applications to boilers

    Author : Tove Djerf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solids flow; fluidization; scaling; circulating fluidized bed boiler; fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : The circulating fluidized bed (CFB), which is a technology that is commonly used in the heat and power sector, efficiently converts renewable and/or and low-grade solid fuels, such as biomass and biogenic waste fractions. CFB units serve also as a technological platform for carbon capture processes (combustion by oxy-firing or chemical looping), which are foreseen to play a key role in the transition of the energy system towards decreased atmospheric CO2 emissions.

  5. 3. Gas Mixing in a Circulating Fluidised Bed Boiler

    Author : Johan Sternéus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; circulating fluidized bed; gas mixing; tracer; boiler; dispersion; scaling; turbulence; two-phase flow; fluidization;

    Abstract : The present thesis is a study on the gas-mixing behaviour in a circulating fluidised bed (CFB) boiler. The aim is to describe how gas is spread in different regions of a CFB furnace and to explain variations in the mixing rate under different operating conditions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Eulerian-Eulerian Modeling of Turbulent Gas-Particle Flow

    Author : Aldo Benavides; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kinetic theory of granular flow; Eulerian approach; two-phase flow; CFD;

    Abstract : Gas-particle flow is encountered in a vast number of industrial operations and natural phenomena. Computational fluid dynamics plays an important role in practical engineering and fundamental research activities. READ MORE

  7. 5. Solids Flow in Large-Scale Circulating Fluidized Bed Furnaces

    Author : Tove Djerf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solids flow; Transport zone; Fluid-dynamical down-scaling; Splash zone; Circulating fluidized bed boilers; Dense bed;

    Abstract : 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 technologies for the thermochemical conversion of solids. READ MORE
