Question: The solid particles with 0 . 1 m m dimension and 0 . 8 6 shape factor were used in fluidized bed as packing material.

The solid particles with 0.1mm dimension and 0.86 shape factor were used in fluidized bed as packing material. The density of the solid particles was given as 1200kgm3. Air at 25C temperature and 202.65kPa pressure was used as the fluidization fluid. Moreover, minimum fluidization void fraction, diameter of the bed and weight of solid particles were given as 0.43,0.6m and 350kg, respectively. Calculate;
a. Minimum fluidization length of the bed,
b. Pressure drop for fluidization
c.Minimum fluidization velocity
d.Deetermine the void fraction when the system has a velocity 4 times greater than minimum fluidization velocity.
 The solid particles with 0.1mm dimension and 0.86 shape factor were
