ABSTRACT:

The overall objective of this project is to improve the control of th H-coal reactor through a better understanding of the hydrodynamics of ebullated beds. The project is divided into three main tasks: review of prior work in three-phase fluidization; construction of a cold flow unit and collection of data; and development of a mathematical model to describe the behavior of gas/liquid fluidized beds based on information available in the literature and on data generated in the cold flow unit.  (ERA citation 04:045818)
