✦ Synopsis

A physical model is suggested to explain the occurrence of a shell of varying porosity around a gaseous bubble rising in a fluidized bed. According to the model, this phenomenon is a direct consequence of the necessity to maintain the balance of forces acting on solid particles in the vicinity of the bubble. Both volume forces due to gravity, drag and inertia and surface forces caused by the particulate pressure are shown to be essential. The agreement between model predictions and experimental data is good apart from some difference in the particle concentration at the edge of the bubble void. Requirements of the mass, momentum and energy conservation at this edge regarded as a surface of discontinuity result in conclusions concerning the particle flux through the bubble surface and the solid concentration inside the bubble.

A semi-empirical model which describes the influence of observed voidage variations on gas and particle flows associated with a fluidization bubble is described. It is shown that the effects are very slight so that the incompressible assumption used in Davidson's (1961) model is justified.

## Abstract Gas–solids fluidized beds are characterized by the presence of gas voids or bubbles causing a mass‐transfer resistance. Enhancing the mass transfer from the bubbles to the emulsion phase by reducing the bubble size can be advantageous for the chemical performance (like the conversion an

A volatiles release model has been developed to predict the location and quantity of coal volatiles that are released into a bubbling fluidizedbed combustor, using overbed, in-bed or underbed feed systems. This model not only considers time resolution of the simultaneous processes of coal devolatili
