To develop a pressurized chemical looping combustor, effect of pressure on minimum fluidization velocity and transition velocity to fast fluidization was investigated in a two-interconnected pressurized fluidized bed system using oxygen carrier particle. The minimum fluidization velocity was measured by bed pressure drop measurement with variation of gas velocity. The measured minimum fluidization velocity decreased as the pressure increased. The transition velocity to fast fluidization was measured by emptying time method and decreased as the pressure increased. Gas velocity in the fuel reactor should be greater than the minimum fluidization velocity and gas velocity in the air reactor should be greater than the transition velocity to fast fluidization to ensure proper operation of two interconnected fluidized bed system.

To select the operating condition of 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustion system, minimum fluidization velocity, transition velocity to fast fluidization and solid circulation rate were measured using mass produced new oxygen carrier (N016-R4) which produced by spray drying method for 0.5 MWth chemical looping combustion system. A minimum fluidization velocity decreased as the pressure increased. The measured transition velocity to fast fluidization was 2.0 m/s at ambient temperature and pressure. The measured solid circulation rate increased as the solid control valve opening increased. We could control the solid circulation rate from 26 to $93kg/m^2s$. Based on the measured minimum fluidization velocity and transition velocity to fast fluidization, we choose appropriate operating conditions and demonstrated continuous solid circulation at high pressure condition (5 bar-abs) up to 24 hours.

Backwashing is one of the most important processes in water treatment. Several models have been utilized to predict minimum fluidization velocity and expansion of media. However, it is not unusual that the actual bahavior of media dose not agree well with the prediction. This study has investigated the applicability of models in predicting the minimum fluidization velocity of sand media. However even the better model has predicted minimum fluidization velocity 1.1 to 1.8 times higher than actual fluidization velocity. The expansion rate of sand media was inspected. It is found that the actual expansion rate was greater than the predicted. In this study condition, use of $d_{10}$ instead of $d_{60}$ was better to predict the expansion of media. On the contrary to the sand media, the actual expansion of anthracite media was less than that predicted. Sometimes it is reported that the dual media has been overflown during backwashing and mixed severely at the interface. It is because the grain size distribution of anthracite has not been selected properly. The numerical values for media expansion found in this study could be referred as the useful data in operating and/or designing filter media.

직경이 0.102 m이고 높이가 2.0 m인 annular 유동층에서 최소유동화 속도 및 압력 요동 특성을 고찰하였다. 기체유속($U_G$), 고체 입자의 크기($d_p$) 그리고 유동층 온도가 최소유동화 속도 및 압력 요동 특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구 결과, annular 유동층 내의 압력 요동 자료로부터 구한 상관차원을 유동층 내부의 기체 및 유동 입자의 복합적인 거동을 정량적으로 나타내는 파라미터로 쓸 수 있었으며, 이 상관차원의 값은 기체의 유속, 유동 입자의 크기 그리고 반응기의 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 유동층에서 유동입자의 최소유동화 속도를 유동층에서 압력 강하 및 압력 요동자료의 표준 편차를 사용하는 방법뿐만 아니라 압력 요동 자료의 상관차원을 이용하여서도 구할 수 있었으며 이들 각기 다른 방법으로 구한 최소 유동화 속도 값은 서로 매우 유사하였다. Annular 유동층에서 유동 입자의 최소유동화 속도는 유동 입자의 크기가 증가할수록 증가하였으나 유동층의 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 본 연구의 범위내에서 annular 유동층에서 최소 유동화 속도를 압력 요동 자료의 상관 차원과 무차원군의 함수로 나타낼 수 있었다.

Circulating Fluidized-Bed (CFB) boilers which have been operated in Korea were manufactured by the design technology of foreign leading companies. As they are not active to transfer their technology, domestic companies don't have the enough ability to design it independently yet. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Ltd. and Korean Institute of Energy Research are trying to develop and improve the particle re-circulating device among the components of CFB boiler. Our purpose is to control the amount of particles leaving the re-circulating system by adjusting utility air and reuse the heat of circulating particles. The results of experiments with cold model system show that a fluidization state in the particle re-circulating device is very stable when the amount of utility air is supplied to its wind box with 2.29 times of minimum fluidization velocity. Also the amount of particles entering the riser don't increase linearly when the amount of utility air is supplied over 2.5 times of minimum fluidization velocity. Now we are testing its functional run with the hotstate experiment set-up.

The water gas shift conversion catalyst prepared by the American Cyanamide Co. was subjected to fluidization in a 2-in. Pyrex glass tube to obtain the basic fluidization characteristic data. The size of the catalyst charged ranged from 70 to 120 meshes and it was supported on a single layer 300-mesh wire gauze through which the fluidizing medium, the air, was passed. Following are some data and facts found by the authors: (1) The catalyst particles were porous, and their surfaces were trough and irregular. (2) The average effective particle density and the average shape factor of these particles were 152.2 lb/$ft^3$ and 0.865 respectively. (3) As the particle diameter of the catalyst increased, the minimum fluid voidage of the bed decreased slightly. (4) Just before the incipient fluidization, pressure drop suddenly fell and the bed expanded simultaneously. (5) After fluidization set in, the expansion characteristics of the catalyst bed were similar to those of sand and glass beads except intense bubbling in the catalyst bed.

For the purpose of drying high moisture rough rice effectively, from the view point of pre-drying, some basic experiments of fluidized bed drying of rough rice were carried out. The minimum fluidization velocities $(U_{mf})$ for both rough rice and glass bead were analyzed to find out fluidizing characteristics. The main results obtained were as follows ; 1) Minimum fluidization velocity of rough rice and glass bead were 2.01m/s and 4.07m/s, respectively, when using the distributor with $16\%$ opening ratio. 2) $U_{mf}$ calculated by Shirai's empirical equation and that calculated by Wen's modified equation were inconsistent with experimental data, while $U_{mf}$ calculated by Ergun's equation was consistent with the experimental data. 3) The following equations, on the basis of Leva's equation, were obtained. $$C_{mf}=1.19\times10^{-4}(Re_p)^{-0.0318)\;(rough rice)$$ $$C_{mf}=1.02imes10^{-4}(Re_p)^{-0.0047)\;(glass bead)$$

Effect of loop seal geometry on solid circulation characteristics was investigated with two different types of upper loop seals and lower loop seals in a gas-solid fluidized bed system. Upper loop seal which has a wide gap between solid intake and outlet parts requires more fluidization gas to maintain smooth solid circulation. Moreover, the lower loop seal which has a wide gap requires more fluidization gas to achieve the same solid circulation rate. These results can be explained by results of minimum fluidization velocity in the lower loop seals. Consequently, if a loop seal has a wide gap between solid intake and outlet parts, more fluidization gases should be fed to ensure enough solid circulation rate and smooth solid circulation.

We evaluated the optimal conditions for fluidization of nickel oxide (NiO) and its reduction into high-purity Ni during hydrogen reduction in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor. A comparative study was performed through structural shape analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM); variance in pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity, terminal velocity, reduction rate, and mass loss were assessed at temperatures ranging from 400 to $600^{\circ}C$ and at 20, 40, and 60 min in reaction time. We estimated the sample weight with most active fluidization to be 200 g based on the bed diameter of the fluidized bed reactor and height of the stocked material. The optimal conditions for NiO hydrogen reduction were found to be height of sample H to the internal fluidized bed reactor diameter D was H/D=1, reaction temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, reaction time of 60 min, superficial gas velocity of 0.011 m/s, and pressure drop of 77 Pa during fluidization. We determined the best operating conditions for the NiO hydrogen reduction process based on these findings.
