| Summary: | The focus of this project is to investigate the fluidization behavior of biomass in a gassolid
fluidization, while determining several variables that affects the fluidization of the
biomass particles. The fluidization experiments are conducted with saw dust being the
bed material. It was established that the overall sphericity of the saw dust particles are
about 0.2, and subsequently, the minimum fluidization velocity of the bed was estimated
to be about 0.233 m/s. It was also observed that the saw dust bed exhibit characteristics
such as channeling and plugging, even though it belongs to Group B (according to
Geldart’s Classification of Powders). It was then concluded that further improvements in
the equipment for subsequent studies should be made to achieve better results for a more
in-depth analysis. |
