Effects of system and geometrical parameters on the flow of Class-B solids in overflow standpipes
Abstract
The flow characteristics of Class B solids through standpipes is investigated. Experiments conducted to determine the effects of solids flow rate, particle density, particle size, standpipe diameter, fluidizing gas velocity, standpipe pressure drop and standpipe exit height on the performance of standpipes operating in the overflow mode. The effects of the amount and location of standpipe aeration and the effect of standpipe angle of inclination are also examined.
