Abstract
GAS fluidized beds are characterized by ‘bubbles’ which rise through them, modifying the gas flow path and moving solid particles. Bubbles are largely responsible for solids mixing, for high bed to wall heat transfer-rates and for the pattern of gas/solids contacting, important in most chemical engineering applications of the technique.
