Journal ArticleDOI
The operation of L-valves to control standpipe flow
K. Smolders,J. Baeyens +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive experimental program was carried out on group B and D powders, in L-valves of diameter between 20 and 40 mm, where the particle size influences both solids' flux and pressure drop across the Lvalve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic modeling of circulating fluidized beds
K. Smolders,J. Baeyens +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the model equations previously developed by Rhodes et al. were tested against experimental data obtained in a 0.1 ID m riser and the predicted axial pressure drop was in agreement with the experimental data provided the entrainment decay constant a is taken equal to approximately 0.4.
