Measurements of spouting characteristics were carried out in an apparatus consisting of two conical sections connected to a cylindrical section. Inside the lower conical section a draft tube was fixed. Results of minimum circulation velocity were obtained for an apparatus equipped with a draft tube of different inside diameters and lengths for different kinds of particles as well as for different static bed heights. Experimental data have been further analyzed to develop new correlations.
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.
