Abstract

Using a three-phase fluidized bed, the effects of particle sizes and flow rate of both liquid and gas on the bed porosity and diameter of the bubbles were studied. A comparison between the experimental value of the bed porosity and the value obtained by using the Dakshinamurty et al. equations was made.
