Abstract

A fluidized-bed char-combustion system has been developed in which (1) there is only negligible elutriation loss and (2) only ash is selectively discharged from the bed. The system of equations is solved to yield (1) the number of char particles present in the fluidized bed, (2) their size distribution, and (3) the amount of carbon in the bed as functions of (1) char feed rate, (2) feed particle size, and (3) fluidizing-gas velocity.
