Question: A cylindrical column contains a bed of spherical solid particles with a total bed height of 1 . 5 meters. The density of the solid

A cylindrical column contains a bed of spherical solid particles with a total bed height of 1.5 meters. The density of the solid particles is 1500 kg/m^3 and the diameter of the particles is 0.05 meters. Air is used as the fluidizing medium. Determine the minimum fluidization velocity required to fluidize the bed. Given:Void fraction ()=0.4Dynamic viscosity of air ()=1.8\times 10-5 kg/(ms)Density of air ()=1.2 kg/m^3(Use the provided equation in the picture along with the quadratic equation to find the answer)
