ANALYSIS OF FLUIDIZED-BEDS FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS AEROSOL SEPARATION AND HEAT-RECOVERY Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A mathematical model is developed to describe the performance of fluidized beds for the simultaneous heat recovery and aerosol separation. This new concept is analyzed in light of the various transport processes taking place within the bed. A two-phase model is developed for the system in which heat and aerosol particles are transferred from the bubble phase to the emulsion phase. In addition to aerosol separation via diffusion, interception, impaction and electrostatic precipitation, thermophoretic collection is also analyzed. The results indicate that high thermal and separation efficiencies can be obtained. 1993, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
