INVESTIGATION OF THE SHIFTING-PARAMETER AS A FUNCTION OF PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN A FLUIDIZED BED TRAVERSING FROM A FIXED TO FLUIDIZED BED

Abstract

Accurate predictions of pressure drops in fluidized beds are of great importance in the industry. Up to date no satisfactory correlation exists to predict the pressure drop in a fluidized bed as the bed is traversing from one regime to another. In the present study the powered addition correlation [1] is investigated for this particular application. It has been found that this correlation is well suited for the investigated application
