초록

가압순환유동층 적용을 위해 루프씰(loop-seal: 내경 0.10 m)을 갖는 고체재순환부(직경 0.10 m, 높이 2.25 m)에서 층 물질로 silica sand 입자($d_p=240{\mu}m$, ${\rho}_s=2582kg/m^3$)를 사용하여 시스템 압력 변화(0.10~0.71 MPa)에 따른 고체흐름 특성을 연구하였다. 루프씰을 통한 고체질량플럭스는 공기주입량이 증가할수록 선형적으로 증가하였고, 동일한 공기주입속도에 대해 시스템 압력이 증가할수록 증가하였다. downcomer 내 압력변이는 시스템 압력이 증가할수록 동일한 공기주입속도에 대해 증가하였고, 흐름 내 고체속도 및 기체 속도 또한 증가하였다. 고체질량플럭스로부터 downcomer 에서의 압력변이를 예측할 수 있는 상관관계식을 Transportation number와 Pressure drop number를 이용하여 제안하였다. 루프씰에서의 압력강하는 시스템 압력에 관계없이 고체질량플럭스가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 각각의 시스템 압력에서 공기주입속도 변화에 따른 고체질량플럭스 및 Transportation number를 예측할 수 있는 상관관계식을 제안하였다.

Solids flow characteristics have been determined in a pressurized solids recycle systems of silica sand particles for the application in a pressurized CFB(PCFB). The solids recycle system is composed of a downcomer(0.10 m i.d. 2.25 m high) and a loop-seal(0.10 m i.d.). The silica sand($d_p=240{\mu}m$, ${\rho}_s=2582kg/m^3$) particles were transported at room temperature and system pressure($P_{sys}$) up to 0.71 MPa using air. Solids mass flux($G_s$) increases with increasing system pressure at constant aeration rate. Pressure gradient, solids velocity and actual gas velocity increase with increasing $P_{sys}$ at constant aeration rate. The Pressure drop number($\Phi$) on pressure gradient in downcomer has been correlated with Transportation number(Tr). Pressure drop across the loop-seal increases with increasing of $G_s$ irrespective of variation of $P_{sys}$. The obtained $G_s$ and Transportation number(Tr) have been correlated with the experimental variables.
