Abstract:
Coal gasification and catalytic cracking of petroleum are representatives of recent industrial applications of fluidization. Theories were proposed by J.F.Davidson on bubbling fluidization and general fluidization and bubbleless gas-solid contact. Current theoretical studies of fluidization are focused on quantitative prediction and optimum control, involving multi-scale heterogeneous structures consisting of gas bubbles, particle agglomerates, and liquid drops distributed in size and in concentration; modeling for predicting relationships between heterogeneous structure and transport of momentum, heat, mass, as well as chemical reactions; and computer simulation for the prediction and optimization of process operation and scale-up for fluidization technologies in the process.
