The solids mixing in a riser with a height of 10 m and 0.186 m inner diameter was investigated by using pneumatic phosphor tracer technique. Considering the shielding effect of the bed material on the light emitted from the phosphor tracer particle, a modified method for the phosphor tracer measurem

โฆ Synopsis
This study investigated solids mixing.of a group A fine powder in a 0.15 m I D expanded top fluid bed with a ferromagnetic tracer. The superficial gas velocity was raised from 0.075 to 1.1 m/s, causing the bed to go through bubbling, slugging, and turbulent fluidization regimes. A countercurrent flow model described the data well at low gas velocities. The bed assumed a more homogeneous appearance at higher gas velocities; a onedimensional axial dispersion model was used to correlate the data. Axial dispersion coefficients increased with gas velocity. The data agree well with literature data for low gas velocities.

A phenomenological model of axial solids mixing in a circulating fluidized bed is formulated. The model allows for main specific features of the process: ascending motion of particles in the core zone and their descending motion in the annular zone (inner circulation of solids); substantial changes
