The present research describes the design, analysis, and modeling of an air-granular particle fluidized-bed system with dimensions of 0.08 m × 0.4 m × 0.08 m. The hydrodynamic and thermal experiments are designed to verify the numerical model previously created for this purpose. The gas-solid two-phase flow is described using a three-dimensional, two-fluid model based on the Eulerian–Eulerian method. The experiment is conducted, and the numerical model is updated for the new geometry while maintaining the solution parameters. Silica sand and sintered bauxite particles are employed in both experimental and numerical investigations to examine the behaviors of these particles. The hydrodynamic validity of the numerical model is established by the use of experimental findings for pressure drop and bed expansion ratio. The thermal tests are conducted with 585 K hot sand, and the temperature distribution in the bed is measured using K-type thermocouples and compared with the simulation data. Both the hydrodynamical and thermal experimental data appear to agree with the conclusions of the computational analyses. The validated model is then used to mimic the performance of the bed at elevated temperatures. The performance indicators are discussed and calculated for 973 K, demonstrating that as the temperature rises, the system efficiency increases.

Experimental investigation of fludized bed to be used as solar thermal energy storage Polat, Esra; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) An air-granular particle fluidized bed system with dimensions of 0.08 m x 0.4 m x 0.08 m designed and analyzed experimentally and modeled with a commercial CFD software. The aim of the hydrodynamic and thermal experiments is validation of the numerical model previously developed by Serdar Hiçdurmaz. For this purpose, an experimental setup is built at METU and CFD model of Hiçdurmaz is modified for the new geometry with the same solution settings. First-order time discretization and Eulerian-Eulerian approac...
A multiscale analytical correction technique for two-dimensional thermal models of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs Azarifar, Mohammad; Donmezer, Nazli (2017-07-01) Two-dimensional approaches are widely used in the numerical thermal models of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) to reduce the high computational cost of the three-dimensional approaches. The aforementioned simplified models predict inaccurate device temperatures with significant overestimation of the thermal resistance. In order to take advantage of the computational efficiency of the two-dimensional models, a correction procedure is necessary for the accurate representation of the actual...
A possible radiative model for micronic carbonaceous particle sizing based on time-resolved laser-induced incandescence Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Rosano, F; Beretta, F; D'Alessio, A (2002-03-01) A numerical model of time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TIRE-LII) for different kinds of large carbonaceous particle is developed in this paper. Theoretical temporal LII signals were computed for the following classes of particles: soot, the well known hollow particles called cenospheres (tens of microns) and full carbonaceous particles called by analogy pleospheres (a few microns), pleo- from the Greek pleos (solid). The large carbonaceous particles have a characteristic time for internal gradient ...
First measurement of the cross section for top-quark pair production in proton-proton collisions at root s=7 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01) The first measurement of the cross section for top-quark pair production in pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at center-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV has been performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.1 +/- 0.3 pb(-1) recorded by the CMS detector. This result utilizes the final state with two isolated, highly energetic charged leptons, large missing transverse energy, and two or more jets. Backgrounds from Drell-Yan and non-W/Z boson production are estimated from ...
A search for pair production of new light bosons decaying into muons in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2019-09-01) A search for new light bosons decaying into muon pairs is presented using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The search is model independent, only requiring the pair production of a new light boson and its subsequent decay to a pair of muons. No significant deviation from the predicted background is observed. A model independent limit is set on the prod...
