Abstract
The spouted bed can be used in several industrial operations due to the efficient fluid-particle contact and the high rates of mass and heat transfer, among then we can mention the drying of grains and pastes and the granulation of materials. However, this equipment still has scale-up restrictions, which restricts its use to small-scale and meso-scale processes. One way to study equipment operating behavior at lower costs is to use computational tools to verify and analyze the best performance of this equipment against a requested operation. The objective of the study was to verify the fluid dynamics behavior of a conventional bed of solid gas type in bench scale for coffe through CFD simulation (Computational Fluid Dynamics). The simulations presented in this article show a dynamic flow profile inside the bed.
