Flow Characteristics of Fully Wetted Binary Solid Mixtures in Gas Fluidized Beds with Inclined Gas Distributors

A unique gas-fluidized bed in which fluidization is enhanced by adding a little water has potential for soft abrasive washing of various products. Preliminary experiments were carried out for the washing of farm products. Gas fluidized beds of binary solids mixtures with inclined gas distributors provide hydrodynamic and mixing data assisting the design of dry and wet gas-fluidized beds
