Fluidisation is frequently accompanied by unwanted attrition of the bed material. This paper
focuses on the mechanical aspects of fines creation by attrition in fluidised beds supported …

It is highly desirable to be able to interrogate in three dimensions the whole fluid inside a
typical stirred vessel, especially when used as a chemical reactor. Electrical resistance …

Gas-solid fluidized beds have historically been employed in a variety of fields owing to the
excellent mixing they provide, which can enhance chemical reaction rates and make the …

Mixing and circulation of monosized particles in laboratory-scale tapered spouted beds have
been characterized experimentally by measuring non-invasively the 3-D trajectory of a …

This paper assesses sources of productivity spillovers in China's electric and electronic
manufacturing industry using a rich panel data-set of 25,360 firms observed over the period …

With fast data acquisition and good spatial discrimination, electrical resistance tomography
(ERT) provides a non-invasive and non-intrusive technique to interrogate, in three …

Single phase flows in stirred tanks have been extensively characterized using different
experimental techniques like Hot Wire Anemometry1, Laser Doppler Anemometry2, and …

Bubble column reactors are widely used in the chemical and biochemical industries. They
were reactors of choice in syngas conversion to clean fuels and chemicals. Most of the …

A brief review on recently developed non-invasive techniques for gas–liquid and gas–liquid–
solid systems is presented first. The ultrasonic computed tomography (UCT) developed for …

The influence of the inlet configuration on the flow pattern in dilute circulating fluidized beds
is investigated. The solid flow model used is based on the kinetic theory of granular flow …
