Datasets
Comprehensive datasets have been obtained in both a fast fluidized bed14-19 and a turbulent fluidized bed20,21. The schematic diagrams of the experimental
setups are displayed in Figure 1. The fast fluidized riser had an inner
diameter of 0.30 m and was 18.3 m tall, and had a mixing pot at the
bottom and a rounded elbow exit at the top. The turbulent riser had an
inner diameter of 0.184 m and was 4 m tall, and had a sintered stainless
steel porous plate at the bottom and a blind tee exit at the top.
Recirculation of the solid particles back to the riser was enabled via a
pair of cyclones in series for the fast fluidized bed, and a single
cyclone for the turbulent fluidized bed.
