Abstract

The influence of interparticle forces (IPFs) on the hydrodynamics of a gas–solid fluidized bed was experimentally investigated with the help of a polymer coating approach. The results showed that the presence of IPFs in the bed can considerably change the hydrodynamic parameters. The tendency of the fluidizing gas passing through the bed in the emulsion phase increased with IPFs in the bubbling regime. The performance of a fluidized bed reactor was then studied through simulation of a reactive catalytic system using three different hydrodynamic models: (a) a simple two-phase flow model, (b) a dynamic two-phase flow model, and (c) a dynamic two-phase flow model, integrating the effects of superficial gas velocity and IPFs. The simple two-phase flow model was found to underestimate the reactor performance for catalytic reaction most likely due to the oversimplified assumptions involved in this model. Also, the simulation results showed that modification of the bed hydrodynamics due to IPFs resulted in a better performance for a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. This suggests that the hydrodynamic models should take into account the effects of superficial gas velocity and variation in the ratio of the magnitude of IPFs/hydrodynamic forces, due to any operational reason, to yield a more reliable evaluation of the performance of the fluidized bed reactor.
