APPÁRNT VISCOSITY OF FLUfl)IZED SOLIDS BY ROTATING CYLINDER VISO C4E[R INThOLUCTI ON (3, p1-2) pothted out the lack of Information generally available concerning the proportleß of cornRynnin merciai fluidized solid catalysts. More specifically, in his attempts to correlate his data by means of exIstIng fluid flow ecjuatlons (3, p.U-l2), he Indicated the need of an independent evaluation of the "apparent viscosity" of the flowing material. This work was carried out In the hope of filling this need and enriching the general fund of information concerning fluidized solids. The fluidized solid under ctonsideratlon here Is true fluid. It is an aerated mass of finely divided particles, which, superficially at least, behaves in manner similar to a true fluid. Because it is not a not a solid a true reason to believe that its proper- fluid, there is little ties can be expressed with validity by the same terms properties of a true fluid. However, If modifications of existing flow equations are to be us- which describe the od to desoribe the behavior of this material, venient to use the terms it is con- "apparent density" and "apparent viscosity". following variables are believed by the author to have a possible effect on the apparent viscosity of a fluThe idized solid: 2 1. The shape, size, and moisture content of the solid particles. 2. The "apparent density" of the aerated mass. 3. The chemical composition, temperature, pressure and humidity ot the aerating gas. This investigation was limited to variables one and two; using two different powdered solids and using air as the aerating gas. In selecting the method of measuring the apparent viscosity, consideration bad to be given to the approxi- mate range in which the viscosity might fall. The direc- tor of this research indicated that be had reason to be- lieve that the viscosity was in the neighborhood of that of a light petroleum neutral oil. It appeared that a ro- tating cylinder type viscometer might be built which would adequately cover the indicated range. Such a viscometer was designed and constructed. Because the fluidized solid is not a true there was some doubt as to whether the fluid, "a: pparent ity", as measured by a "true" viscometer, viscos- was the same as the "apparent viscosity" indicated in the previously men- tioned fluid flow correlations. However, it was hoped that the measured quantity would at least be proportional to the quantity desired. 3 )AÄTERIALS The two solids used in these experiments were com- mercial ;owdered cateiysts, both o aluminum si1ioìtes. currin hioh are hy1rtd One is produced from a naturally oc- substance and sold under the trade name "Filtro].".

The air was led troni these exits into col- lecting bags through four 1-1/2 inch standard street eus. Figure 2 shows one of these collecting bags in place. The bearing housing was made in a tubular form from Duraluminum alloy. A ball bearing assembly was fitted in either end of the tube. The housing was secured concen- trically to the cover plate by means of a flange. A shoulder on the drive shaft transmitted all of the end thrust to the upper bearing, the bottom one acting only as a low friction alignment device. Both bearings were lub- ricated with kerosene. In order to keep the catalyst out of the bearings, a small amount of high pressure air was admitted to the ing. Ìious- Thus there was a continuous flow of air away from both bearings. This was very effective in prevtnting changes In bearing friction due to infiltration of the abrasive catalyst dust. The rotating cylinder was actuated by means of a fal- ling weight; the linkage being provided by the light weight nylon thread wound on a pulley secured to the top of the drive shaft.

The work done tiere has been confined to dense phase operation. In order to start a series of runs, 10 or 12 pounds of catalyst were placed in the fluidizing chamber; the cover plate with the rotating cylinder was then set in place. After applying high pressure air to the bearing housing, the blower was started and the flow adjusted so that the desired bed height was obtained. At times it was necessary to break the bed loose with high pressure air, then switch over to the blower. 11 When the bed appeared to be completely fluldized, the nianometer (air flow) reading and average height of the bed were noted.

And unfortunately, because of the rapid fluctuations of the "boiling" surface, this was probably the least accurate of all the data taken. 13 CALIBRA TI ON Because of its ¡eculiar design, this visoometer was not an "absolute" instrument, hence calculation of viscosity directly from the data was not feasible. meter was therefore calibrated by means eous glycerol solutions. of The visco- standard aqu- For convenience in selecting the proper range of values, the calibration was postponed un- til after most of the runs were made.

With determined by this specific gravity, the viscosity was determined from interpolation curves previously prepared from data in Lange's Handbook (i, p. 1275 and 1563). The viscometer was filled with the glycerol solution so as to obtain complete immersion of the rotating cylinder. The ratio was thon determined with three different 14 actuating weights. With every solution employed, this procedure was repeated for five different liquid levels, ranging rrom tali. coverage of cylinder (10 inches) to a partial coverage of four inches. Throughout the calibration, changes in liquid temper- ature were carefully recorded. It was immediately evident that the .- ratio increased appreciably with increased shear rate. This behavior added complications and rocuired some explanation. At the time (This point will be discussed further in succeeding sec- tions.) it appeared that this increase could be reason- ably attributed to an increase in bearing friction with inorease( velocity. On this basj.s it was believed that the best and sat- est procedure would be to compare the catalyst and the glycerol only at identical shear rates. The only method found for accomplishing this wid, proved rather awkward and laboriou8. The original calibration data were used to prepare families of curves (a separate family for each viscosity) showing the variation of the . ratio with the mass of the falling weight. From these curves, were iade faiailies (a family for each weight employed) showing the variation, at constant viscosities, of tiori of cylinder covered. ratio with frac- Completion of these curves per- mitted the preparation of the final calibration curves.

This was attributed to the turbulence caused by the spokes in the connection of the cylinder to the shaft. It Is apparent that in order to make use of these celi- bration curves, three items from the catalyst data were essential: the mass of the weight, the coverage of the tating cylinder, and the v-ratio. ro- It the weight used In the particular case was 120 grams, the 120 gram calibration curve would be selected. Entering this curve with the ratio and the coverage, the viscosity was determined. Fur- ther, since the mass, M, has been specified, the compar- ison of the catalyst to glycerol must have been made at identical velocities. 17 RESULTS The resilts of this work were not entirely satisfac- Apparent viscosities were first determined directly tory. from celibration curves, of the type shown in Figure 4 (sample calculations are shown in Appendix). Figures 5 and 6 show the apparent viscosity as a tuno- tion of apparent density. The points were so badly scat- tered that it was difficult to draw any definite conclusions. However, in the case of Catalyst 3A at least, there seemed to be some justification for concluding that over the range covered, apparent viscosity was independent of apparent density. On this assumption, Figures 7 and 8 were prepared. Here shear rate is shown as a function of applied shearing stress. Because of the wide variation In cylin- der coverage, it was necessary to reduce the applied force to a unit cylinder height. The dotted lines on either side of the curves show the shape of the corresponding gly- oerol curves. Again, the points were very scatterecL How- ever, for both catalysts, the best line through the points extrapolated readily to the origin and complied fairly well with the shape of the glycerol curves. During the calibration, the failure of the remain 4 ratio to constant with the increased shear rate, was attri- buted to a progressive increase in dynamic bearing friction.

This would indicate iare expriet.tal errors or the operation of some unconsidered vuriable, or both. While no attent was made to control the temperature and humidity of the aerati air, these variables did ohan8e a;reciably throujhout the course of the runs, without any detectable effect. The largest obvious source of experimoital error was undoubtedly failure to of the catalyst bed. ro;erly estiiate the average height Considering the raid fluctuations of the Tboiling" surface it is doubtful that the average height was estimated closer than the nearest one half inch. This, in a typical case, could be sufficient to cause an error of five to ton percent in the calculated viscosity. Errors in timing tha Thllixig weight are considered in most oases to be below two peroent. However, since time was squared in the friction factor, f', timing errors were pro- bably important in a nuaber of oese. The two errors mentioned probably account for most of the scattering. But it can hardly be supposed that they can account for the xuinerous points which are both very high end very low. The following is tendered as explanation for these extrere peinte. velocities, (high densitIes) there is ½t e possible very low air narked tendency 29 tor the air to wash out "ohannels" In the catalyst bed. Thus, once the3e chaxinels are established, most o is by passed and most ot the bed the air renains untluidized. As the air velocity is increased the tendency to channel is reduced, a1tbouh it is probably nover entirely eliminated. It is entirely possible that some undetected channeling occured occasionally, such that j,art of the catalyst adja- cent to the cylinder remained unfluidized. The unfluid** izad portion, being relatively immobile , could act as an effective brake on the cylinder, thus giving an apparently high viscosity. On the other hand, if the nature of the channeling was such that a large fraction of the cylinder was adjacent to an abnormally "lean" mixture of catalyst, the result would If equipment of and be an apparently low viscosity. this type is to be used work, redesign so as to obtain complete in future immersion of the rotating cylinder is suggested. Also if the explanation just presented is valid, consideration should be given to the possibility of designing a superior air intake mani- fold.

The o1lowing points in this connection are ottered tor consideration: 1. There is no way to account tor the possible "slip" ot the cylinder past the particles immediately adjacent to the cylinder. It such slippage occurs, it would have the effect of giving a lower than correct viscosity. 2. It appcars that for proper fluldizatlon, a reasonably large annulus (perhaps not cuite so large as was used here) between the concentric cylinders is necessary. The result- ant etfect on the Reynolds number is such that lt Is dit:tioult to avoid operation in the turbulent flow region.

Since operation will probably be in the turbulent re- gion, it does not appear that direct coriparison to the calibrating fluid could be valid. On the other hand, the correction for turbulent flow is based on the assumption that the catalyst is exhibiting the properties of a true fluid. In view of the foregoing statements, rather than attempt measurements of absolute viscosities, perhaps future woric with a rotating cylinder visoometer might be more pro- titabY directed toward extension of the upper and lower portIons of the curves shown In Figures 7 and 8. The shape t of a complete curve of' this kinc should prove helpful in understandinß the differences between fluidized solid systema and true fluid systems. 32 CONCLUSI ONS One: A visoorneter of the type used in this investigation can (with alterations suggested in text) be used with sorne measure of success for determining relative values of apparent viscosities of fluidized solids. Its reliability as an absolute instrument is questiGnable. Two: The author believes that by careful control of con- ditions, a rotating cylinder viscometer can be used to develop complete relationships between shearing stress and relationships could, perhaps, permit classification of fluidized solid systems into one of the common rheologloal types. shearing rate for fluidized solid systems. It the lines shown in Figures Three: '1 Such and 8 can be con- sidered to represent the points, the fluid catalysts, Filtrol and 3A, act like true fluids in that the viscosity is substantially independent of shearing rate, over the range studied. Four: Filtrol Five: Over the range studied, the arparent viscosities of trid Catalyst 3A ere independent of apparent density. The apparent viscosity of Filtrol is considerably higher than that of Catalyst 3A. The values of viscosity obtained by direct comparison to the calibreting fluid about 22 and 12 centipoises respectively. The values are 33 computed on the basis of turbulent flow are about 44 and 29 centipoises reseotively. The latter are considered by the author to be more nearly correct. Handbook cf chemistry.
