| Abstract | ||
| In this paper four phase fluidized bed is experimentally built and numerically modeled to study the bed characteristics such as ratio (the static bed height of solid particle / the bed diameter (H/D)), air, gasoline , and water superficial velocity. The test pipe for the experimental rig is Perspex pipe with 1 m long and 0.0254 m diameter. The 2D numerical model has been established with Ansys fluent 15.0. Pressure drop equation is found to relate the pressure drop with the bed parameters with deviation of 22%. The Four-phases was represented by air, water, gasoline and solid particle. The results show that the pressure of the bed increases as the ratio H/D increases and air, gasoline , and water superficial velocity increases. As well as the expansion of the bed increases as air, gasoline, and water superficial velocity increases. | ||
