Question:

Catalyst pellets 5 mm in diameter are to be fluidized with 45,000 kg/h of air at 1 atm and 80°C in a vertical cylindrical vessel. The density of the catalyst particles is 960 kg/m3; their sphericity is 0.86. If the given quantity of air is just sufficient to fluidize the solids, what is the vessel diameter?
