Question: A closed - loop solid recirculation system, as shown in Fig. 7 , contains a bed of solids at the bottom of a 2 0

A closed-loop solid recirculation system, as shown in Fig. 7, contains a bed
of solids at the bottom of a 20.3-cm ID tube 8 m high, which is thought to
be higher than the TDH. In a typical experiment the bed is charged with
8 kg of coarse nonentraining solids, 1kg of 50-\mu , m solids, and 1kg of
100-\mu ,m solids. At steady state, carryover is 0.03 kg/s, and 1kg of solids
are present in the recycle loop at any time. A sample of the entrained
solids shows that it consists of two parts 50-\mu m particles to one part of
100-\mu m particles. From this information find \kappa and \kappa * for these two sizes
of elutriable particles.
