Fluidized beds are used for thermochemical processes such as combustion & gasification due to their high mass, mixing & heat transfer rates. These mechanisms are afffected by the solids flow rate out of the fluidized bed (or solids entrainment rate). The solids entrainment rate is affected by hydrodynamics within the fluidized bed such as the gas-particle & particle-particle interactions. Recent investigations on the hydrodynamics have include...
