(i) Calculate the superficial gas velocity necessary to fluidize the bed. [1]
(ii) What is the percent error in estimating the.gas veloeity in (i) using the expression in part (b)? |4|
(iii) At rest the bed has a porosity of 0.4 and a height of 3.66 m . At operating conditions, the fluid viscosity is
\( 0.000019 \mathrm{~Pa} . \mathrm{s} \) and its density is \( 1.2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \). If at minimum fluidization conditions the porosity is 0.42 , calculate the height of the expanded bed. |1|
(iv) I or an operation with a superlicial gas telocity of \( 0.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \) is solids recirculation necessary? Why? \( |4| \)
