Abstract
The stability of the state of “isothermal” homogeneous fluidization to small amplitude “non-isothermal” disturbances is analyzed. A new general expression for particle phase pressure based on dimensional arguments is proposed and the dispersion relation governing the growth and propagation characteristics of the disturbances is derived.
