• visting PhD student

  • 2006 - 2007

  •Performed troubleshooting and modification of a pulsed fluidized bed system in order to generate “regular bubble pattern”•Studied bubbling behaviour of a pulsed fluidized bed and studied the feasibility of applying pressure fluctuation analysis to measure the bubble size in a pulsed fluidized bed. •Designed experiments and developed analysis methods and the associated MATLAB scripts for analyzing the raw data taken from the experiments. •Designed a special pulsation-assisted system to enhance drying in fluidized bed. Designed, built and operated the associated rigs. •Suggested a practical method to make the pressure fluctuation analysis applicable to a pulsed fluidized bed dryer, and to determine critical moisture content from pressure drop analysis results.
