A simple predictive model is presented here to describe the layer inversion behaviour of binary solidรliquid รuidized beds. The model is based on the assumption that the concentrations of the two particle species in the binary bed when normalized with respect to their mono-component counterparts are

## Abstract A proper characterization of the hydrodynamics of binaryโsolid liquid fluidized beds is an important first step in its effective utilization. Of particular importance in this connection is to be able to predict the unique hydrodynamic phenomenon of the layerโinversion, which is associat
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
## Abstract The bed expansion characteristics of twoโphase inverse fluidization were studied. Twelve different spheres with diameters from 1.31 to 7.24 mm and densities between 75 and 930 kg/m^3^ were fluidized with water. The experimental lneโlnU curves were parallel to those predicted by the mode
A new mechanism is proposed to interpret the phenomena observed in the liquid fluidization of the binary particle mixture. Two main factors, the bulk density and voidage fluctuation, are considered to determine the position of the layer of particles in the bed. The new model successfully explains th
Values of axial mixing coefficients for glass spheres 0.9 cm dia. fluidised by dimethyl phthalate have been determined. The process has been shown to be predominantly of a diffusion type, with the convection pattern of the solids not exerting a significant influence. The results have been compared w
