Investigation of hydrodynamics and heat transfer characteristics with biomass blends in a pressurized circulating fluidized bed

Abstract

Pressurized circulating fluidized bed PCFB is gaining popularity among the scientific community in utilizing low grade fuel for the combustion and gasification applications due to its in built capability of capturing of sulphur and NOx Compactness high heat release rate and less amount of sorbent requirement makes the PCFB system more attractive However the complexity in hydrodynamics and heat transfer phenomena associated with bed geometry flow parameters as well as type of fuels etc d
