This book is for engineers and students to solve issues concerning
the fluidized bed systems. It presents an analysis that focuses
directly on the problem of predicting the fluid dynamic behavior
which empirical data is limited or unavailable. The second
objective is to provide a treatment of computational fluidization
dynamics that is readily accessible to the non-specialist. The
approach adopted in this book, starting with the formulation of
predictive expressions for the basic conservation equations for
mass and momentum using kinetic theory of granular flow. The
analyses presented in this book represent a body of simulations and
experiments research that has appeared in numerous publications
over the last 20 years. This material helps to form the basis for
university course modules in engineering and applied science at
undergraduate and graduate level, as well as focused,
post-experienced courses for the process, and allied industries.

This book concerns the most up-to-date advances in computational
transport phenomena (CTP), an emerging tool for the design of
gas-solid processes such as fluidized bed systems. The authors
examine recent work in kinetic theory and CTP and illustrate
gas-solid processes' many applications in the energy, chemical,
pharmaceutical, and food industries. They also discuss the kinetic
theory approach in developing constitutive equations for gas-solid
flow systems and how it has advanced over the last decade as well
as the possibility of obtaining innovative designs for multiphase
reactors, such as those needed to capture CO2 from flue gases.
Suitable as a concise reference and a textbook supplement for
graduate courses, Computational Transport Phenomena of Gas-Solid
Systems is ideal for practitioners in industries involved with the
design and operation of processes based on fluid/particle mixtures,
such as the energy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food
processing.

This volume fills the need for a textbook presenting basic
governing and constitutive equations, followed by several
engineering problems on multiphase flow and transport that are not
provided in current advanced texts, monographs, or handbooks. The
unique emphasis of this book is on the sound formulation of the
basic equations describing multiphase transport and how they can be
used to design processes in selected industrially important fields.
The clear underlying mathematical and physical bases of the
interdisciplinary description of multiphase flow and transport are
the main themes, along with advances in the kinetic theory for
particle flow systems. The book may be used as an upper-level
undergraduate or graduate textbook, as a reference by professionals
in the design of processes that deal with a variety of multiphase
systems, and by practitioners and experts in multiphase science in
the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) at U.S. national
laboratories, international universities, research laboratories and
institutions, and in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and petroleum
industries. Distinct from other books on multiphase flow, this
volume shows clearly how the basic multiphase equations can be used
in the design and scale-up of multiphase processes. The authors
represent a combination of nearly two centuries of experience and
innovative application of multiphase transport representing
hundreds of publications and several books. This book serves to
encapsulate the essence of their wisdom and insight, and:

Useful as a reference for engineers in industry and as an advanced
level text for graduate engineering students, Multiphase Flow and
Fluidization takes the reader beyond the theoretical to demonstrate
how multiphase flow equations can be used to provide applied,
practical, predictive solutions to industrial fluidization
problems. Written to help advance progress in the emerging science
of multiphase flow, this book begins with the development of the
conservation laws and moves on through kinetic theory, clarifying
many physical concepts (such as particulate viscosity and solids
pressure) and introducing the new dependent variable--the volume
fraction of the dispersed phase. Exercises at the end of each
chapterare provided for further study and lead into applications
not covered in the text itself.
Key Features
* Treats fluidization as a branch of transport phenomena
* Demonstrates how to do transient, multidimensional simulation of
multiphase processes
* The first book to apply kinetic theory to flow of
particulates
* Is the only book to discuss numerical stability of multiphase
equations and whether or not such equations are well-posed
* Explains the origin of bubbles and the concept of critical
granular flow
* Presents clearly written exercises at the end of each chapter to
facilitate understanding and further study
Book & CD-ROM. This text has been used in the form of class
notes taught to graduate and senior undergraduate students in
chemical and mechanical engineering at Illinois Institute of
Technology for the last three decades. The computer codes,
particularly the Navier-Stokes equation solvers, have been
continually updated by several Ph.D. students over the last decade.
The theory of fluidisation and multiphase flow is based on the new
paradigm that emerged in the 1980s as granular flow. Commercial CFD
codes, such as FLUENT, already use this theory. However, this
theory is not yet complete. Hence the programs described in this
text can be easily updated as new theory is developed. For example,
the codes can be extended to anisotropic and multi-size particle
flow based on the emerging kinetic theories. Hence this book should
be useful to research engineers in industry, to graduate students
and to professors teaching a first course in computational
techniques. In this book the authors illustrate how their code as
well as the commercial codes can be used for the design of green
energy technology processes.
