Investigation on distribution characteristics of flexible biomass particles in a fluidized bed riser

The heterogeneous properties of biomass particles make their processing difficult in the fluidized beds. To handle biomass particles more easily, the fluidization process of the flexible biomass particles in a cold fluidized bed riser was investigated in the present study. The behavior of biomass particles subjected to the air flow was studied via the Euler-Lagrange method. Meanwhile, the particles were analyzed via a 3D particle model, and the...
