• OA is the packed bed region
• This correlation is valid for spheres in the range 0.01 < Remf < 1000
and is often expressed in the form:
Expansion of a liquid fluidized bed: (a) just above Umf (b) liquid
velocity several times Umf

• Gas fluidized systems give either only bubbling fluidization or
non-bubbling fluidization beginning at Umf, followed by bubbling
fluidization as fluidizing velocity increases
Physical processes
• Cooling may be by
fluidizing air alone or by
use of cooling water
passing through tubes
immersed in the bed
