Studies on the residence time distribution of solids in a swirling fluidized bed

The Multi-Parameter Two-Layer (MPTL) mathematical model was developed in this work specifically to model the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) of particles in a continuous system of swirling fluidized bed reactor.The model consists of two parallel layers.The top layer is a stirred tanks-in-series mo...
