CPFD Simulation of Operation Characteristics of a 10t/d Sludge and Biomass Co-incineration Fluidized Bed Reactor by REN Shaohui, YU Qiao, LIN Li, XIANG Jiatao, MA Lun, ZHANG Shihong

“…Reactor geometry adjustments induced <2% compositional changes, but opposing feed inlets revolutionized mixing dynamics: fuel dispersion uniformity eliminated localized rich zones, intensifying turbulence to boost CO₂ yield by 24% (15.74% vs. 12.66%), enhance CNO→NO conversion (NO↑14%; CNO↓32%), and homogenize temperatures—though a persistent flow dead zone in the upper-right corner induced a 1,217 K hotspot.ConclusionsThis study establishes definitive operational guidelines for sludge-biomass co-incineration FBRs: 1) Maintain primary air >805 Nm³/h to ensure turbulent fluidization while limiting secondary air to ≤30% total flow to balance burnout enhancement against CNO accumulation; 2) Restrict biomass particle size ≤3 cm (equivalent spherical diameter) and prioritize rice husk over wood for high-S/N sludge blends to minimize CNO/H₂S emissions; 3) Employ dolomite bed material (150-275μm) at 500 mm initial height and 800-850℃ for moderate SO₂ control while avoiding particle sizes >225μm that degrade fluidization; 4) Implement opposing feed inlets as a low-cost retrofit to intensify turbulence, elevating NO output by 14% and reducing CNO by 32%—though complementary design modifications (e.g., baffle installation, outlet repositioning) are recommended to eliminate identified thermal hotspots. …”

Predicting Financial Distress through Ranking Working Capital Management Components Using Random Forest Algorithm by Pouya Sadeghi, Daryush Farid, Hamid Reza Mirzaei, Abolfazl Dehghani
