2. The following table gives experimental results of bed
pressure drop/fluidising velocity data for a bed of
granular material operating at ambient conditions.
For this bed, the particles have a mean size of 427 µm
and density of 2780 kg/m3. The bed voidage of 0.417.
The fluidising gas density and viscosity are 1.21
kg/m3 and 1.82×10-5 Pa s. Estimate the minimum
fluidising velocity and sphericity of the particles.
