Bifurcation analysis of process stability of continuous fluidized bed agglomeration with external product classification

摘要

This contribution discusses the process behaviour of continuous fluidised bed agglomeration with external product screening and milling. The stability behaviour is tracked in the parameter plane (aggregation efficiency and milling diameter) by parameter continuation methods. It is shown that for EKE and gravitational kernels, loss of stable operation with onset of oscillatory behaviour has to be expected.
