โฆ Synopsis
Based on the observed pattern of coalescence of bubble pairs in vertical alignment in a two-dimensional bed, a theory is developed which describes how bubble size and frequency changes with height in a gas fluidised bed. It is confirmed by comparison with the reported data from 10 separate investigations which can together be described by -d,1'2(dn/dh) = 0497 (ndgo.54)'.64
where dB is the average bubble diameter and n the number frequency per unit cross sectional area, both at height h above the distributor.
