Superficial bubble-phase gas velocity ( u b s ) is an important parameter in the fluidized-bed reactor design, since it influences many other parameters such as volume fractions of each phase and the superficial gas velocities for other phases. The earliest popular postulate of computing u b s , whi

## Abstrati -A mathematical model based on bubble assemblage concepts for fluidized-bed catalytic reactors is presented. The bed is divided into three phases, namely, bubble, cloud-wake, and emulsion phases. The concept of axial gas mixing in the emulsion phase is incorporated. Hence, both upflow
Measurements of bubble velocltles m freely bubbhng beds have shown that the veloclhes of mdlvldual bubbles are mfluenced more markedly by the dlsposltlon of surroundmg bubbles than by the slze of the mdlvldual bubble ltself Bubbles present m high concentratlons nse at much greater velocItIes than Is
A theory describing the flow within a bubble rising in a fluidized bed is given for both twoand three-dimensional systems. The theory is then related to the effect of bubbles on a fluid/solid reaction in a fluidized bed and three possible models for the fluid flow are outlined, from which it is poss
