The K-L reactor model for circulating fluidized beds

In this paper we present a model for determining the performance behavior o f a CFB reactor. This model is nor sophisticated and does not require compu ter calculations, but is realistic and convenient for engineers engaged in the development of new processes. A number of parameters must be evaluated to use this model. This paper shows what they are; and thus suggests where future research of CFB should be. Four examples in the different flow regim es illustrate the use of this model. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig hts reserved.
