The independent effects of fines and mean particle size on the incipient bubbling velocity and on the voidage of the dense phase in a bubbling bed have been established. The gas density and viscosity also have an influence which suggests that increasing the operating temperature and pressure should lead to smoother fluidization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
