Abstract:

Based on the previous experimental study, a computational particle fluid dynamics (CPFD) model was used to reveal the heat transfer mechanism between a vertical heat tube and a fluidized bed of fine FCC particles. Emphasis was put on the hydrodynamics related to the particle renewal on the heat tube surface. The relationships between the gas-solids hydrodynamics on the heat tube surface and the local heat transfer properties were discussed. The predicted total particle renewal fluxes and packet mean residence time according to the packet renewal model at different superficial gas velocities and radial positions can both explain the change of the measured heat transfer coefficients, which indicates the dominant role of the particle renewal on the bed-to-wall heat transfer in a bubbling fluidized bed. As the heat tube moves from the bed center to the column wall, there is an increasing tendency for the circumferential non-uniformities of both solids renewal flux and heat transfer coefficient. As the superficial gas velocity increases, the internal solids circulation flux in the bed increases as a result of stronger bubble movement, which is the root cause of the strengthened solids renewal on the heat tube surface and the increased heat transfer coefficient.

摘要：

针对细颗粒气固鼓泡流化床中床料与竖直传热管壁面间的传热行为,在前期实验的基础上,采用计算颗粒流体力学(CPFD)方法从颗粒在传热壁面更新的角度,深入分析了传热特性与壁面气固流动行为之间的关联性。结果表明,模拟得到的传热管壁面颗粒更新通量和基于颗粒团更新模型的颗粒团平均停留时间均能很好解释实验测得的传热系数变化规律,这证实颗粒团更新是影响传热过程的控制性因素。模拟还发现随加热管从床层中心向边壁的移动,加热管周向方向上颗粒更新通量和传热系数的不均匀性都呈增大趋势。随着表观气速的增大,气泡行为导致床层颗粒内循环流率增大,这是导致颗粒团在加热管壁面上的更新频率增大以及床层与壁面间传热系数增大的根源。
