ABSTRACT:

The objective of this work is to convert our 'learning gas-solid-liquid' fluidization model into a predictive design model. The IIT hydrodynamic model computes the phase velocities and the volume fractions of gas, liquid, and particulate phases. Model verification involves a comparison of these computed velocities and volume fractions to experimental values.
