Thesis Abstract

<p> </p><p>The project is the construction of fluidised bed reactor. After a detailed research mild steel was chosen as the material of construction based on its inherent properties. The construction process entitles the marketing out of the sheet to the specified dimensions. This was followed by center punching and cutting. The sheets are then joined together after rolling by welding. Finally, surface treatment like painting was carried out to give it a brighter colour and durable property. The dimension are</p><p>Area of upper Nozzle = 4.56m2</p><p>Weir length of the nozzle = 0.16m</p><p>Area of upper frustrum = 4.36m2</p><p>Area of cylinder/vessel = 47.03m2</p><p>Weir length of cylinder/vessel = 0.29m</p><p>Area of the lower nozzle = 4.56m2</p><p>Weir length of lower nozzle = 0.31m</p><p>Area of the lower frustrum = 4.35m2</p><p>Radius of the perforated bed = 0.15m</p><p>Diameter of the perforation = 0.0251mm</p><p>Ration of length to Diameter is 2.1</p><p>The heat transfer coefficient of the material is 200w/m20C</p><p>The reactor constructed is a type of reactor that can be use to carry out a variety of multiphase chemical reaction example cracking of petroleum.</p> <br><p></p>
