MIXING OF BOTTOM AND TANGENTIAL AIR IN A CYCLONE-FLUIDIZED BED CHAMBER

An experimental investigation of the characteristic features of mixing of the bottom- and tangentially blown air at different temperatures in a cyclone-fl uidized bed chamber with varying operational and geometric parameters has been carried out. Their infl uence on the temperature fi elds in the chamber has been established. Optimal values of the pinch diameter, bottom-blown fraction of air, and of the air fl ow rate that yield the most uniform temperature distribution in the chamber volume are determined.
