Hydrodynamic Modeling of Fluidized-Bed Gasifiers and Combustors

摘要

Hydrodynamic modeling of fluidized beds is becoming increasingly necessary and important as the urgent need for more sources of energy continues. Present models are missing important design and performance criteria that must be derived and understood before further research can be undertaken. A two-part hydrodynamic code with both cold-bed and hot-bed characteristics could supply the missing criteria. Some suggestions for future research in that direction are offered.
