dc.description.abstract | Geldart classified powders into four categories and assigned each category its own unique characteristic. Geldart A particles, being easily aeratable, show a unique feature of ‘Homogenous expansion’ before bubbling. In this work, an additional feature for the Geldart chart is proposed which adds significant utility for the processing of Geldart A particles. CFD was used to characterize the entire Geldart A region of the Geldart chart based on detailed fluidization behavior. For this, Eulerian–Eulerian Two-fluid model (TFM) simulations were conducted for 25 particle systems across the entire span of the Geldart A region. The simulations (Solid volume fraction (SVF) contours) of bed evolution, taken before the appearance of multiple bubbles, were analyzed in detail. The particle systems were then sub-categorized into Red (5% average bed expansion), Orange (12.5% average bed expansion), and Green (30% average bed expansion) sub-types. The sub-types were plotted on Geldart chart, and for the first time a continuum heat map was generated, from which the ‘level of fluidizability’ of all Geldart A powders can be conveniently gaged. The map can be used for a more informed choice of powder for various industrial applications. Also, the A/B boundary proposed by Verloop was found to be a better fit for our proposed continuum when compared to the original Geldart A/B boundary. The 2D Simulation results performed in this work, found adequate validation against experimental findings in literature. Further, fine mesh 2D simulation results compared well with 3D simulations for dense bed, and were thereby deemed adequate for revealing dense bed behavior before onset of multiple bubbles. | en_US |
