Particle Image Velocimetry of a Swirling Fluidized Bed at Different Blade Angles

The particle motion within a stable swirling operation regime of a fluidized bed is investigated. Particle image velocimetry was used to elaborate the hydrodynamics of multi-sized particles fluidized at different air distributor blade angles. The experimental results revealed that the superficial ve...
