Abstract

Based on available experimental data, an empirical relationship is developed for the entrainment rate of coarse particles at the exit of gas‐fluidized beds, including the effects of fine particles in the bed, temperature, gas velocity, particle size and density, and column size. It predicts well the influence of fine particles on the entrainment rate of coarse particles, taking into account the momentum of the fine particles and the effect of superficial gas velocity. It also accounts well for the influence of temperature at different solid densities and gas velocities.
