Description
This Fixed and Fluidised Bed Unit is
designed to study the behaviour of flow of
fluid through both fixed and fluidised bed of
solid particles. Differences in flow behaviour
can be visualized clearly.
This unit consists of:
• Columns
• Water supply
• Air supply
• Bed materials
Experimental capabilities:
• Determination of pressure drop through fixed and
fluidised bed for both air and water systems
• Verification of the Carman-Kozeny equation
• Observation of the differences between particulate
and aggregative fluidisation
• Behaviour of fluidised bed for various types of bed
material
