CALCULATION OF MINIMUM PARTICLE MIXTURE FLUIDIZATION VELOCITY IN A WET BIOMASS TORREFACTION REACTOR

摘要

A simple method is proposed for calculating the minimum velocity of fluidization of a bed consisting of particles differing considerably in shape and size. The method helps calculate with satisfactory engineering precision the minimum fluidization velocity on which depend the size of the reactor for wet biomass torrefaction, the flow rate of the fluidizing agent, and other characteristics of the torrefaction process.
