Chapter 7, Problem 7.13P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Bed height needs to be calculated and compared with the given data.

Concept Introduction:

Ergun equation suggests that the changed in pressure drop of packed bed is a function of fluidization velocity. However, it is applicable to fixed beds only. During particulate fluidization, the bed height is expected to expand slightly and this phenomenon depends upon the porosity or void fraction of bed.
