In recent decades, more emphasis has been given to produce clean energy from wastes
and other renewable sources due to the rise in crude oil price and greenhouse gas …

A 1-dimensional model for an atmospheric circulating fluidized bed biomass gasifier
(CFBBG) under stationary state is presented in this paper. The model is based on the kinetic …

An important characteristic of fast fluidized beds (FFB) is the tendency for the solid particles
to aggregate into clusters. Such clusters can strongly affect operational characteristics such …

Pressure fluctuations were measured in a fluidized bed/circulating fluidized bed along the
height of the riser and their power spectral densities (PSD) were obtained by Fast Fourier …

In this study, a dynamic 2D model for a CFB combustor has been developed which
integrates and simultaneously predicts the hydrodynamics, heat transfer and combustion …

This paper gives an overview of the last 100 years of fluidization in the Japanese context.
Japan was a relatively early adopter of the Winkler coal gasification technology in industry …

Experiments in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser with Geldart Group B particles have
been carried out with an emphasis on cluster characterization. In this paper, the focus is on …

In this paper, heat transfer experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the
contributions of particle convection, gas convection, cluster convection and also radiation …

Wavelet analysis has been used for studying dynamic behavior of fluidized beds, which
proved effective in resolution of time series into different scales of components with distinct …

Despite its wide applications, fluidization is not understood enough to satisfy our technical or
academic interests. Cascading simulation approaches on different scales, with small-scale …
