Estimate the compressor power needed to send reactant gas into the bottom of a fluidized bed reactor. Also determine what fraction of this compressor power is used to overcome the frictional loss of the distributor.

Data

Solid:

Gas entering the compressor: $,20C,101$kPa,$20,000\frac{m^3}{h}r$

Gas at reactor exit : $1000$kPa

Use $=1\mathrm{.}4,=0\mathrm{.}8,p_d=0\mathrm{.}3p_b.$
