Circulating Fluidized-Bed Reactors
This paper develops a flow and contacting model to represent a CFB. Best estimates of contacting efficiencies are presented for the turbulent, fast fluidized, and pneumatic transport regimes of the CFB. Material balances are presented, ending up with conversion equations for first-order solid-catalyzed gas-phase reactions. Four examples show how to use this model and show its predictions.
