    Abstract: This research deals with the design and analysis of the nozzle and bed materials required for fluidized bed boiler. The design parameters (Diameter of the bed particle, Range of the terminal velocities, Minimum Fluidization /Bubbling velocities, Maximum amplitude and steady velocities) were calculated using Microsoft Excel by interpreting and solvi...

    Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on a pulsating turbulent flow through conical diffusers with total divergence angles (2θ) of 12, 16, and 24, whose inlet and exit were connected to long straight pipes. To examine the effects of the divergence angle and the nondimensional frequency on flow characteristics, experiments were... Show More
