This study presents the results of an experimental investigation of the hydrodynamics of conical spouted beds operating with high density particles. This type of spouted beds is frequently encountered in chemical vapor deposition coating of nuclear fuel elements. Measurements were performed in three 15 cm ID full circular (gamma = 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees) and one half circular conical spouted (gamma = 30 degrees) bed with yttria-stabilized zirconia particles (d(p) = 0.5, 1 mm; rho(p) = 6050 kg/m(3)). For the complete characterization of the hydrodynamic regimes, simultaneous high speed camera and bed pressure drop measurements were carried out in a half circular conical spouted bed to visualize the gas-solid flow patterns and match them with the corresponding bed pressure drop values and its spectral characteristics. The results show that the minimum spouting velocity increases with cone angle, particle diameter and static bed height. The average bed pressure drop decreases with cone angle. Minimum spouting velocity values obtained from full and half bed experiments resulted in a maximum 15% difference. The spectral analyses of the bed pressure drop indicated a dominant frequency of 12 Hz in the stable spouting region. After the initiation of external spouting, an unstable intermittent spouting region which extends up to approximately 1.2U(ms) has been identified. The results of this work can be successfully used in the hydrodynamic design of spouted bed nuclear fuel coaters.

Significance of particle concentration distribution on radiative heat transfer in circulating fluidized bed combustors
Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-02-01)
In this study, effect of particle concentration distribution on radiative heat transfer in circulating fluidized bed combustors (CFBCs) is investigated. The aim is to identify how important it is to include axial and radial variations of particle concentration along the splash and dilute zones in radiative heat transfer calculations and to determine the predictive accuracy of simple OD and 1D approximations for particle concentration distribution in the riser by benchmarking their predictions against a semi...
Simulation of circulating fluidized bed combustors
Göğebakan, Yusuf; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
A dynamic mathematical model for simulation of atmospheric circulating fluidized bed combustors has been developed on the basis of first principles and empirical correlations. The model accounts for dense and dilute zone hydrodynamics, volatiles release and combustion, char particles combustion and their size distribution, and heat transfer from/to gas, particles, waterwalls and refractory. Inputs to the model include configuration and dimensions of the combustor and its internals, air and coal flows, coal ...
Influence of spectral particle properties on radiative heat transfer in optically thin and thick media of fluidized bed combustors
Ates, Cihan; Sen, Ozge; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2017-12-01)
In this study, influence of spectral particle properties on radiative heat transfer in the freeboard/dilute zone of fluidized bed combustors (FBCs) is investigated. The aim is to identify how important it is to involve spectral particle properties and to determine the predictive accuracy of gray Mie and gray Geometric Optics (GOA) approximations in optically thin and thick media by benchmarking their predictions against spectral solutions. For that purpose, input data required for modelling radiative heat t...
Testing and analysis of different hold down devices for CFS construction
Pehlivan, Barış Mert; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01)
This paper summarizes the findings of a two-phase study on hold down devices used in cold formed steel (CFS) structural systems. The first phase consisted of component testing and numerical analysis of hold down devices while the second phase was based on testing of CFS framed sheathed wall panels under cyclic lateral loading. Eleven monotonic and three cyclic tensile load tests were performed on seven different types of hold down devices to assess the performance of readily available hold downs and propose...
Characterization of local flow behaviour in conical spouted beds
Yeniçeri, Ali; Külah, Görkem; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019)
Conical spouted beds are used in various physical and chemical applications such as drying, coating, and pyrolysis of waste plastic and biomass owing to their effective feature of gas-solid contact. To design and operate these units in high efficiency, a complete understanding of the phenomena and detailed investigation of local flow structure are of paramount importance. In this study, the effects of bed design parameters (unit size, conical angle, spouting gas-inlet diameter) and operational conditions (p...
