Notes:
Slugging experiments were performed in a semicircular Plexiglas column 5.6 m in height to study the effect of an expanded section on slugging. The bottom section of the column (3.05 m long) is 28.6 cm in inside diameter and the expanded section 40.6 cm. Both the bed height and the fluidizing velocity were varied during the study, and the results were successfully correlated with a theoretically derived equation. The implications in designing a bed with an expanded section to reduce the slugging effectively are also discussed.
