Characteristic Features of Fluidization of Bidisperse Beds in Suffosion Conditions

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Experimental investigation of fluidization of bidisperse beds of quartz sand and straw pellets at a large ratio of their equivalent diameters is carried out. The influence of the mass fraction of pellets on the rate of complete fluidization of a disperse bed has been established. The inapplicability of the available dependences, based on the use of Ergun′s formula, for describing the results obtained is shown.
