Prediction of Minimum Semi-Fluidization Velocity (From Minimum Fluidization Velocity) of Irregular Particles in Liquid-Solid Systems by Nomograph

Abstract

In an earlier communication (3) , the author has given two nomographs for the direct prediction of the minimum and the maximum semi-fluidization velocity for liquid-solid systems. The nomographs have been prepared on the basis of the co-relations developed by the author( 2 ). In a recent communication Roy and Sharma( 4 ) have given a correlation which relates the ratio of the minimum semi-fluidization to the minimum fluidization velocity with the system parameters.
