β¦ Synopsis
The rising velocity of an isolated bubble in a "two-dimensional" air-fluidised bed has been measured and found to be wel1 described by the relation, ub= 15'9Abf cm/sec, where Ab is the area of the bubble measured in cm*. This predicts a smaller rising velocity than the corresponding @avies and Taylor) expression for a gas bubble rising in a "two-dimensional'* inviscid liquid, and this differente may be ascribed to the viscosity of the fluidised bed.
The rate of rise of a bubble rising in a cloud of bubbles has also been measured, and the results are in reasonable agreement with the work of Nicklin on normal two-phase flow.

An improved electroresistivity probe has been used in a freely bubbling gas-fluidised bed of carbon particles to give the distributions of velocitj and size of bubbles therein. Bubble properties agree with previous observations but the significant influence of macro-circulation patterns on bubble ve
