摘 要:The discharge behavior of particles is important in many industrial applications,such as in the core of a pebble bed reactor,which uses a hopper bed filled with many large *** this work,a mixture composed of two particle types,freely discharged from a pebble bed,is simulated using the discreteelement *** is a spherical pebble of diameter equal to that of the fuel pebble of the *** other is a composite particle comprising three spherical pebbles bonded *** included angleαof the three pebbles characterized the particle conformation,which may affect the discharge behavior of the *** effects of volume fraction of the multi-sphere x(equivalent to the number fraction)on the discharge are also *** patterns,number flow rate,discharge velocity,and mean force of the mixture are computed to help in revealing discharge *** results show that increasing eitherαor x reduces the discharge flow *** and correlations give a quantitative evaluation of the independent effects ofαand *** analysis of velocity and force explains the mechanism relevant to the main influencing factorsαand *** results are helpful in gaining a better understanding of the discharge feature of binary mixtures and in providing a quantitative evaluation of the discharge behavior of the reactor core,especially adverse failure conditions.
