RESUMO

Power spectra obtained through Fast Fourier Transform (FTT) from time series of pressure fluctuation, showed to be an effective technique for on line monitoring of typical fluidization regimes of gas-solid bubbling columns. It was experimentally verified that the methodology permitted the identification and distinction of different contact regimes. This methodology is based on the evaluation of pressure fluctuation on frequency domain, where the dominant frequency, the amplitude and the width of the power spectrum are identified for a given contact regime. Three types of partic1es, Geldart c1assification A, B and C, were used in the experiments, which were conducted in two circular columns, with internal diameters of 11 cm and 14cm, with the fluid at room pressure and temperature. Typical fluid dynamic conditions were set in the experiments, aiming the acquisition of pressure time series for each one of the established regimes. The experimental data were treated and recorded in an acquisition system, composed of pressure transducers, conditioning signal, acquisition board, software and microcomputer. The variety of solids and the broad experimental range allowed the obtaining of the following fluidization regimes: fixed bed, particulate fluidization, single bubbling, multiple bubbling and exploding bubbling regimes, wall and flat slugging and channeling fluidization, this last gained with type C solids. The results obtained for all the experimental conditions permitted to check that distinct power spectra are obtained for each fluid dynamic state, and that spectral analysis permit to verify the stability of fluidization state, beyond to identify the transition between the regimes. Another objective of this thesis was to study the determination of minimum fluidization velocity (Umf) with the use of pressure fluctuation measurements. It was possible to estimate, with good precision, the value of Umf of A and B Geldart solids through linear relationship between standard deviation of pressure variation and fluid velocity. The verification of accuracy of the applied method was made by the comparison with the results Of Umf got through the fluid dynamic curve
