Destabilization of fluidized beds due to agglomeration part II: Experimental verification

Abstract

Abstract The limiting fluidization‐defluidization condition for fluidized beds of sticky particles has been studied experimentally in both low temperature beds in which defluidization occurs due to the presence of sticky fluids and in high temperature beds where agglomeration occurs due to sintering of the granules. The experimental results described herein as well as others taken from the literature are compared to the predictions of the theoretical model developed in Part I of this paper.
