Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 2CFD-DEM Investigation of the Effects of Particle Size and Fluidization Regime on Heat Transfer in Fluidized Beds(Springer int Publ Ag, 2025) Alipoor, Mahdi; Kazemi, Saman; Zarghami, Reza; Mostoufi, NavidThis paper presents an in-depth study of heat transfer in fluidized beds, employing the CFD-DEM technique. The primary focus is to examine the impacts of inlet gas velocity, fluidization regime, and particle size on the thermal behavior of fluidized beds. The results revealed that thermal convection predominantly governs heat transfer in fluidized beds, accounting for the largest fraction of the overall heat transfer process. Particle-fluid-particle thermal conduction was found to contribute approximately 10-20% of the heat transfer, whereas particle-particle conduction exhibits a minor role. Upon increasing the inlet gas velocity, the convection rate intensifies, whereas the particle-fluid-particle conduction rate decreases. Furthermore, the study highlights the differences in temperature distribution between turbulent and bubbling fluidized beds. Turbulent bed demonstrated a more uniform and homogenous particle temperature compared to bubbling. At similar fluidization numbers in bubbling beds, increasing particle diameter enhances thermal convection while reducing particle-fluid-particle conduction. In contrast, the turbulent regime shows minimal differences in heat transfer mechanisms when particle size varies. Additionally, smaller particles are found to significantly improve temperature uniformity in fluidized beds. A comprehensive comparison of simulation results with experimental data validates the accuracy of the employed model, reinforcing its ability to predict heat transfer in fluidized beds reliably. This research provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of various mechanisms of heat transfer within fluidized beds, enabling engineers and researchers to optimize bed performance and enhance temperature control in various industrial applications.Book Part High-Performance Materials and Engineered Chemistry(CRC Press, 2018) Türk, Merve; Gümüş, Barış; Ustun, Fatma; Balköse, DevrimNano-sized nickel borate hydrate were precipitated from equimolar mixtures of dilute nickel nitrate and borax solutions at 25°C. Produced nickel borate samples were characterized by TGA, DSC, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, SEM, Elemental Analysis (EDX), Titration (nickel determination by EDTA, B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> determination by NaOH), Particle Size Distribution, and Dehydration. The particles with 55 nm, 80 nm and 70 nm sizes were obtained for the cases without template, with span 60 and PEG 4000 in the reaction mixture respectively. The empirical formula of the vacuum dried precipitates were NiO.1.3B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.6 H<inf>2</inf>O, NiO.1.2B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.6 H<inf>2</inf>O and NiO.1.0B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.4 H<inf>2</inf>O for the cases without template, with span 60 and PEG 4000. The density of the nickel borate hydrates was around 2 g/ml and they had a color described by 157, 199 and 158 in RGB color scale. The nickel borate hydrates were amorphous in structure and no sharp peaks related to a crystal structure was present in their x-ray diffraction diagram. The effect of presence of span 60 and PEG 4000 were not significant on the particle size and chemical composition of the nanoparticles. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
