Notes:
A method was developed for estimating the age density of transporting elements at a transport surface by using the spectral density of the total element counts. Only total counts, and not individual element histories, need be observed. The method was compared with autocorrelation methods used in an earlier work. Residence times were measured for several sizes of particles at a paticular wall surface of a stirred fluidized bed and at various gas velocities using both spectral density and autocorrelation methods. A dimensionless plot brought all data points near a single curve, valid only for this surface in this bed. Checks of these residence times against values obtained by direct observation of individual particles confirmed the methods.
