a 2. You want to fluidize a bed of solid particles using water. The particles are cubes, with a length on each side of 1/8” (3.2x10-3 m) and a SG of 1.2. The bed is 1 m long prior to fluidization a. What is the sphericity factor for these particles, and what is their equivalent diameter? b. You have determined that the pressure drop at the point of fluidization is 1.4x103 Pa. Calculate the minimum void fraction. c. You change out the working fluid from water to a fluid that has a density of 800 kg/m? What is the new pressure drop at the point of fluidization in Pa)?
