Liquid-Solid Semi-Fluidization of Homogenous Mixtures — II: Prediction of Maximum Semi-Fluidization Velocity

Abstract

The necessity of a generalized correlation for predicting the maximum semi-fluilization velocity is stressed. The experimental set up used for the study has been described in detail. Values of the maximum semi-fluidization velocity, obtained from the experimental data have been compared with those from -theoretical equation, developed earlier for single sized particles and the deviations have been commented.
