The paper presents an experimental study of fluidization phenomena in a multiphase rectangular bed whose working principle is based on air-sand interaction phenomenon. A properly prototype has been drawing and realized to analyze the fluidization phenomena. Experimental tests were carried out, by a properly test rig, to measure pressure and velocity distribution of air in the bed prototype and different measurement points in the prototype were taken into account. Thanks to the glass windows the visualization of air bubbling behavior in the sand was made possible. A first study about the temperature influence has been made. The influence of pieces of different sizes and in different positions on the fluidization and bubbling phenomena has been investigated; in particular to obtain information about the best piece position using the system like a sand reclamation bed.

Abstract

The paper presents an experimental study of fluidization phenomena in a multiphase rectangular bed whose working principle is based on air-sand interaction phenomenon. A properly prototype has been drawing and realized to analyze the fluidization phenomena. Experimental tests were carried out, by a properly test rig, to measure pressure and velocity distribution of air in the bed prototype and different measurement points in the prototype were taken into account. Thanks to the glass windows the visualization of air bubbling behavior in the sand was made possible. A first study about the temperature influence has been made. The influence of pieces of different sizes and in different positions on the fluidization and bubbling phenomena has been investigated; in particular to obtain information about the best piece position using the system like a sand reclamation bed.
