Industry/University Cooperative Research Activity: Stability and Electrodynamics of Gas and Liquid Electro- fluidized Beds

尽管流化技术在许多工业过程中得到了广泛的应用，但商业规模的流化床反应器的设计和放大仍然是基于过去的经验和从建造一系列原型反应器中获得的信息。这一程序不仅成本高、耗时长，而且还导致了许多程序的过度设计和开发延迟。遇到的许多问题之一是运行的稳定性。正是在这一领域，将进行分析和实验研究，重点是利用电场或磁场在介质或磁性颗粒的流化床中稳定气泡、机电耦合和波的传播和反射。

In spite of the wide application of fluidization techniques in many industrial processes, the design and scale-up of a commercial size fluidized bed reactor is still based on past experience and information obtained from building a sequence of prototype reactors. This procedure is not only costly and time-consuming but has led to overdesigning and delaying of the development of many processes. One of the many problems encountered is the stability of operation. It is in this area that analytical and experimental research will be performed focusing on stabilization against bubbles, electromechanical coupling, and wave propagation and reflection in fluidized beds of dielectric or magnetic particles using electric or magnetic fields.
