Introduction Swirling Fluidized Bed The swirling fluidized bed is a relatively new development. In contrast with conventional fluidization, in swirling fluidized beds the fluidizing medium enters the bed at an inclination to the horizontal. directed thus by a suitable design of distributor. The swirling motion imparts special characteristics to the bed, which are considerably different from that for conventional fluidized beds Particle Annular Blade Distributor 3 Process Gas Agricultural Systems, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Uni.

Problem Statement & Objective Problem Statement [1] Even though commercially available, they have not received their due share in terms publication. [2] Lack of publications on the swirling fluidized bed; large room for various parametric studies [3] Despite of the high potentials for industrial application, no parametric studies have been reported Objective [1] To design a new concept of fluidization via annular blade distributor [2] To study air flow distribution in a swirling fluidized bed via numerical investigation. 4 Agricultural Systems, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Uni.

Scope and Significance of Study Scope of Study [1] Tangential entry of air flow with inlet velocity at 10 m/s [2] Number of blade of 30, 45 and 60 [3] Angle of blade at 12°, 20°, 30° and 45° [4] Investigation by using CFD approach (air flow & pressure drop) Significance of Study [1] To investigate the best swirling fluidized by using the plenum chamber by applying a various different number of distributor blade and the angle of blade distributor into the fluidized bed [2] Result of this finding can be used to optimize a design of fluidized bed and It will make it more efficient, thus reducing the energy spent on its operation 5 Agricultural Systems, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Uni.
