MODELLING THE TRANSITION TO THE FLUIDIZED STATE OF TWO-SOLID BEDS: MIXTURES OF PARTICLES OF IRREGULAR SHAPE

摘要

The analysis of experiments conducted on binary beds of irregular-shaped solids, such as biomass granules (crushed olive pits) and sand, shows that a recent model devised for predicting the initial and final fluidization velocity of a two-component bed of spherical solids captures also the behaviour of mixtures of non-spherical particles.
