The hydrodynamics of a spouted bed operating with high density zirconia particles was studied by CFD-DEM simulations. The model was validated by experimental data. Simulation results were used to obtain radial and axial profiles of the particle velocity, solid hold-up and flux in the bed at two bed heights. The gas jet velocity profile in the spout was also studied. For calculation of the solid circulation time in the bed, axial positions of 50 particles were traced in time. The mean solids circulation time in the bed was found to be 1.5 s.

CFD Simulations of Hydrodynamics of Conical Spouted Bed Nuclear Fuel Coaters Lule, Senem Senturk; Çolak, Üner; KÖKSAL, MURAT; Külah, Görkem (2015-06-01) The ability of the two fluid method (TFM) to predict the gas-solid flow phenomenon in conical spouted beds operated with high density (6050kgm(-3)) particles simulating the nuclear fuel coating conditions is investigated. The effects of geometric and operational factors, such as conical angle and static bed height, are also assessed. The results show that TFM predicts the time-averaged bed pressure drop quite well. The qualitative variation of the particle velocity, solids volume fraction, and axial particl...
Early Detection of Agglomeration in Conical Spouted Beds Using Recurrence Plots Savari, Chiya; Külah, Görkem; Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Rahmat; Mostoufi, Navid; KÖKSAL, MURAT (2016-07-06) The agglomeration of particles in a conical spouted bed was investigated using a recurrence plot (RP) and recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) of the pressure fluctuations (PFs) and acoustic emission (AE) signals. Experiments were carried out in a 45 degrees conical spouted bed with sugar particles (d(P) = 720 mu m; rho(p) = 1580 kg/m(3)). Water was sprayed incrementally into the bed to produce agglomerates during the operation. Several recurrence quantification parameters were calculated during the agg...
Characterization of gas-solid flow in conical spouted beds operating with heavy particles Sari, Salih; Külah, Görkem; KÖKSAL, MURAT (2012-07-01) 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(...
Flotation responses to the morphological properties of particles measured with three-dimensional approach Hicyilmaz, C; Ulusoy, U; Bilgen, S; Yekeler, M (2005-02-07) Morphological properties of barite particles ground by autogenous and ball milling were examined by three-dimensional methods, namely, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption and Permaran methods in terms of surface roughness and acuteness, respectively. The experimental study showed that autogenously ground products have lower roughness and acuteness. On the other hand, Hallimond tube flotation tests were performed to evaluate the floatability of those particles ground in different environments. M...
DETERMINATION OF THE BOUNDARY OF AN OBJECT INSERTED INTO A WATER-FILLED CYLINDER IDER, YZ; NAKIBOGLU, B; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 1992-01-01) In order to circumvent the electrode position determination problem in static electrical impedance tomography, it is possible to insert the object to be imaged into a water-filled cylinder on which the electrodes are at fixed and known positions. It has previously been shown that if the boundary of the internally placed object and the conductivity of the salty water in the cylinder are known, then a significant improvement in the conductivity image of the object is obtained. An algorithm for finding the bou...
