Experimental study on orientation and de-mixing phenomena of elongated particles in gas-fluidized beds

In this experimental study the segregation behavior for fluidized mixtures of spherical and cylindrical particles is investigated. In industry, fluidization of particles featuring a wide range of shapes is common in various applications such as biomass gasification, drying applications, food processing and production of pharmaceuticals....

Three-dimensional fluidized beds with rough spheres: Validation of a Two Fluid Model by Magnetic Particle Tracking and discrete particle simulations

Two fluid model simulations based on our recently introduced kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) for rough spheres and rough walls, are validated for the first time for full three-dimensional (3D) bubbling fluidized beds. The validation is performed by comparing with experimental data from Magnetic Particle Tracking and more detailed...
