In order to study this impact, two different distributer plates orifice arrangement, namely, triangular and radial (TDP and RDP) are designed. The solid circulation patterns caused by each orifice arrangements are then predicted numerically. To this end, Eulerian-Eulerian (EE) approach through Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is utilized. As a final point, the simulated particle volume fraction, particle velocity and bed pressure drop are compared. It was found that the distribution of solid volume fraction is more homogeneous while TDP was used. The regular pattern of radial particle velocity was also found for TDP. These indicate that particle motion mainly concentrates in the region between the core and the wall of the bed. However, chaotic solid motion at the core region was observed for RDP. ©2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN). date: 2016 publisher: Asian Research Publishing Network official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84994204384&partnerID=40&md5=429bbc3467ee4aa69b2ecb8b52ff4be7 full_text_status: none publication: ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences volume: 11 number: 20 pagerange: 11954-11959 refereed: TRUE issn: 18196608 citation: Afrooz, I.E. and Sinnathambi, C.M. and Karuppanan, S. and Ching, D.L.C.
