Phase diagrams similar to those recently reported for the Magnetization-FIRST mode were also developed. Dimensional analysis based on ＂pressure transform＂ of the initial set of variables and involving the magnetic granular Bond number pertinent to particle aggregate formation was applied to develop the scaling relationships.展开更多

The applied magnetic field was axial, uniform, and steady. In operating the beds, the magnetization-LAST mode was adopted under which four distinct flow regimes exist： fixed, magnetized-bubbling, partial segregation-bubbling, and total segregation-bubbling, The operational phase diagram was drawn to display the transitions between flow regimes in an intuitive manner. Only in the magnetized-bubbling regime could the magnetic field reduce the bubble size and improve fluidization quality. In the segregation-bubbling regimes, fluidization quality deteriorated as segregation developed. The segregation of the binary mixture was quantitatively studied by observing pressure drops in the local bed. Reasons for the improvement in fluidization quality as well as the occur- rence of segregation were analyzed. Furthermore. the flow regime transition under magnetization-LAST operation mode was different from that under magnetization-FIRST mode. The magnetically stabilized bed （MSB） flow regime, which could be easily created under magnetization-FIRST mode, could no longer be achieved under magnetization-LAST mode. With the admixture, the MSB was proved to be a metastable equilibrium state. Under the magnetization-LAST mode, the admixture bed reached directly the stable equilibrium state-bubbling with segregation.展开更多
