β¦ Synopsis
A method using an optical mouse sensor was developed to monitor the moving velocity of a solid mass. Calibration was carried out using a rotating plate. Results clarified that the developed method is useful to monitor the velocity up to some limit (v b 0.3 m/s), which depends on the optical mouse sensor used. A solid circulation rate in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) was measured using this method. Results obtained using this method show agreement with those of visual observations.

A phenomenological model of axial solids mixing in a circulating fluidized bed is formulated. The model allows for main specific features of the process: ascending motion of particles in the core zone and their descending motion in the annular zone (inner circulation of solids); substantial changes
## Abstract An experiment was conducted to acquire a set of systematic data of particle holdup in risers of a liquidβsolid circulating fluidized bed. In the experiment, two kinds of riser were provided, their inner diameter being 24 mm and 36 mm, respectively. Tested particles were of glass and cer
