Abstract/Summary:
he effects of the gas and solids distributor design and operating conditions on the flow structure development and acceleration in the entrance region of a 9.3 m tall and 0.1 m i.d. gas-solid downflow reactor were studied using FCC particles.;The three distributors were designed as internals of the 0.2 m distributor shell so that modifications were more easily facilitated.
