Abstract:Down-flow fluidization is an attractive unit operation because it allows having a smooth circulation of the fluid and the solid support material as well as an uninterrupted and controlled operation of the fluid. In addition, since the solid support material is less dense than the fluid, the pump energy consumption required for bed expansion is smaller in comparison with upward fluidization. Momentum transport in fluidized beds is usually modeled by macroscopic models, which are expressed in terms of effective-… Show more
