Abstract

It is important to investigate the behavior of circulating fluidized beds (CFB) for efficient coal combustion. Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) was applied to the measurement of gas/solids distribution in square CFBs. An iterative method was used to achieve improved image reconstruction over the commonly used linear back-projection algorithm. The solids concentration profile, temporal variation of average solids concentration, and frequency spectra, which were obtained from the ECT data, are presented.
