Cold flow experimental study and computer simulations of a compact spouted bed reactor

- Features of a miniature spouted bed are studied in a cold flow experimental setup.
- Fine particle spouting is found feasible at a wide range of conditions.
- Trends of some hydrodynamic parameters deviate those of coarse particle spouting.
- Computer simulations are conducted to elucidate on heat transfer characteristics.
- Even highly endothermic reactions proceed efficiently due to the excellent mixing.
