Tl. Rolim et al., NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF THE VERTICAL FLOW IN A GAS-SOLID SYSTEM BASEDON NUCLEAR TECHNIQUES, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 198(1), 1995, pp. 69-76
The conservation equations for particulate systems were utilized to in
vestigate the fluid-dynamic behavior of a gas-solid mixture flowing al
ong a vertical tube (riser) in a simplified model of a pilot catalytic
cracking unit. Nuclear techniques were utilized for the determination
of the flow parameters along the riser. The results show a satisfacto
ry agreement between the theoretical data and those obtained by experi
mental tests.
