A comprehensive and up-to-date look at fluidization processes

In Fluidization Processes: Design and Operation, a team of skilled engineers delivers a thorough and practical perspective on the design and operation of fluidization processes. It covers the science grounding critical fluidization concepts, including jets, bubbles, entrainment, heat transfer, particle cohesion, attrition, and general gas-solid fluidization regimes. It includes discussions of relevant calculations and modeling considerations in industrial applications.

The book offers scale-up methodologies and important design considerations for fluidization beds and cyclones. The authors also provide explanations of topics like bubbling and turbulent fluidized bed hydrodynamics, CFB riser hydrodynamics, and the components of fluidized bed units.

Readers will also find: - Thorough introductions to particle properties and fluidization and fluidization concepts
- Comprehensive explorations of fluidization regimes, including examinations of Geldart particle classifications
- Practical discussions of distributor designs and operations and particle elutriation and entrainment
- Complete treatments of cyclone design and operations, diplegs and standpipes, and pressure loop calculations

Perfect for chemical engineers, process engineers, and environmental chemists, Fluidization Processes: Design and Operation, will also benefit catalytic chemists, materials scientists, and chemists in industries.
