The K-L reactor model for circulating fluidized beds

In this paper we present a model for determining the performance behavior of a CFB reactor. This model is not sophisticated and does not require computer calculations, but is realistic and convenient for engineers engaged in the development of new processes. A number of parameters must be evaluated to use this model. This paper shows what they are, and thus suggests where future research of CFB should be. Four examples in the different flow regimes illustrate the use of this model.
