TL;DR: The boundary between fast fluidization and dilute-phase pneumatic transport is set by the type A choking velocity, at which the uniform suspension collapses and particles start to accumulate in the bottom region of the transport line as mentioned in this paper.
TL;DR: In this article, a combined experimental and simulation study on the various regimes, which can be encountered during spout-fluid bed operation, is presented. But the simulation results do not capture the effect of the drag closure on the model results and the influence of the computational grid was studied.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the application of linear stability theory to explain the onset of slugging and showed that the inviscid Kelvin-Helmholtz theory correctly predicts stability of a stratified flow only for very large liquid viscosities.
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of slugging fluidized beds has been carried out in four tubes ranging in size from 5-30 cm i.d. using particles having mean sizes 55-3380 μm and densities 0·85-2·8 gm cm−3.
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown theoretically that it is possible to stablize the flow by increasing the back pressure of the separator or by employing a controlled choking at the pipe exit.
