Hydrodynamic studies of gas-solid fluidization in hexagonal bed for non-spherical particles

951-954This paper presents hydrodynamic properties (minimum fluidization velocity, pressure drop at minimum fluidization, minimum bubbling velocity, minimum slugging velocity, particulate fluidization, bubbling fluidization, expansion ratio, fluctuation ratio etc.) of gas solid fluidization in hexagonal bed. Experimental values of these properties in hexagonal bed have been compared with corresponding values in cylindrical bed
