Problem 3 3.6kg of solid particles of density 2590kg/m3 and surface-volume mean size 748 mm form a packed bed of height 0.475m in a circular vessel of diameter 0.0757m. Water of density 1000kg/m3 and viscosity 0.001Pa is passed upwards through the bed. Calculate (a) the bed pressure drop at incipient fluidization, (b) the superficial liquid velocity at incipient fluidization, (c) the mean bed voidage at a superficial liquid velocity of 1.0cm/s, (d) the bed height at this velocity and (e) the pressure drop across the bed at this velocity
