Abstract
This paper describes a radiotracer study carried out to measure residence time distribution RTD of coal particles in a pilotscale gas–solid fluidized bed reactor FBR Gold198 labelled on coal particles was used as radiotracer RTD measurements were conducted for selected operating conditions and mean residence times MRTs of the coal particles were determined Gamma function model was used to simulate the measured RTD data and mixing of coal particles in the reactor was investigated Based on the results the performance of the air distributor used in the reactor was evaluated
