摘要
The pressure drop of a cross-flow moving-bed was investigated in a two-dimensional rectangular apparatus. The effects of the particle velocity, the superficial gas velocity, the formation and development of cavity/raceway and voidage of particles on the pressure drop were investigated experimentally under the operational conditions of 0.09 1.35 m/s of the superficial gas velocity and 0.95 9.68 cm/min of the particle velocity. The experimental results show that the particle velocity has little influence on the pressure drop, while the phenomena of cavity and pinning occur when the cross-flow velocity is high enough. The development of a cavity or a raceway can result in three types of variations of pressure drop with time: stabilization, slight fluctuation and severe fluctuation. A cavity appears in a process cycle of formation-growing up-collapsing-fluidization at a high gas velocity. On the basis of experimental results, a model for calculating the pressure drop after a cavity occurs and a dimensionless relationship of cavity size is developed, which gives a good qualitative account of the experimental data.
