Liquid—Solid Semi-Fluidization of Homogeneous Mixtures-1 Prediction of the Onset of Semifluidization Velocity

Abstract

The necessity of a generalised correlation for the prediction of the onset of semifluidization velocity for homogeneous mixtures is stressed. Details of an experimental set-up used for the study have been outlined. Values of the onset of semi-fluidization velocity have been compared with those obtained from theoretical equation, developed earlier for single sized particles and the deviations have been critically commented.
