Notes:
A Bench-scale size fluidization system was constructed for the purpose of conducting experiments to determine density and pressure fluctuations in gas fluidized beds. Density fluctuations and bubble sizes were measured with a photocell device and β-ray absorption. Pressure fluctuations were determined with a conductivity cell. The frequency distributions of the density and pressure fluctuations and bubble sizes were determined as functions of several variables. They could be described by dimensionless coefficients and X2-distributions with different degrees of freedom. Such variables as distance from the gas distribution plate, bed height, particle size, gas flow rate, and internal screens were considered.
