Identification of defluidization region in a gas-solid fluidized bed using a method based on pressure fluctuation measurements

Industrial applications that involve fluidized bed operations must prevent the undesirable phenomenon of partial or complete bed defluidization. Defluidization can be avoided by increasing the gas velocity and/or, in some cases, changing the solid feed conditions in the system, provided that the cha...
