When a fluidized column is operated at a superficial velocity of
10 cm/sec which is 5 times the minimum fluidization velocity, it was found the bubble
size at the mid-point in the column was 10 cm and that bubbles occupied exactly
10.6% of the column and =0.5.
(a)What is the size of the particles in the column? Do not
neglect any terms in your calculations. (b)If the cross sectional area of the column is 314.16 cm 2, what is the tower height? (c) If the particle density is 2 gm per cm 3, the porosity at minimum fluidization conditions 0.5, and the specific
reaction rate, k cat=
0.05 sec -1 , and KR = 5 for an irreversible first order
isomerization reaction, AB, what will be the conversion? If you
were unable to find h in part B, take h= 20 cm
