✦ Synopsis

Predicting the stratification pattern of a binary or ternary solid-liquid fluidized bed requires not only the calculation of the volume fractions of particles in mixed and mono-component layers but also the specification of the order and the thickness of the layers in the bed. A model was developed for such prediction on the hypothesis that the total potential energy of particles in a bed is minimal. Experiments were carried out for a solid system consisting of glass beads, activated carbon and acrylic particles. The experimental results verified the predicted stratification patterns computed on the basis of the hypothesis adopted in this study.

The concept of complete segregation of a binary-solid particulate fluid&d bed is generalized to accommodate cases where the bottom zone contains an equilibrium mixture of the two solid components. The model is fully predictive and provides a complete explanation of the "inversion phenomenon" in clos
