9. Packed Bed Dynamics: A packed bed reactor with a diameter of 1 m contains a liquid-solid flow. If the pressure drop across the bed is 500 Pa/m and the solid particle diameter is 5 mm, estimate the liquid velocity.
10. Fluidized Bed Operation: Calculate the minimum fluidization velocity for a fluidized bed containing particles of 100 m diameter and density 2500 kg/m, with air as the fluidizing medium at 20C and 1 atm pressure.
11. Pneumatic Conveying: For a pneumatic conveying system carrying solid particles at a velocity of 15 m/s in a 100 mm diameter pipe, calculate the pressure drop per meter if the solid loading ratio is 2.
12. Bubble Column Reactors: In a bubble column reactor with a diameter of 0.5 m, if the gas flow rate is 0.01 m/s, estimate the gas holdup assuming homogeneous flow.
