Abstract
The volumetric processing capacity, as well as the flexibility in operation, can be improved by using two-dimensional spouted beds (2DSBs) instead of conventional spouted beds (CSBs). These characteristics of the 2DSB geometry assure a great potential application of such beds to dry particulate solids. In this work, the mechanisms of spout termination in 2DSBs are analyzed and quantified through the use of meaningful dimensionless parameters. A new correlation for the maximum spoutable bed height in 2DSBs of coarse particles is proposed here. Criteria for scale-up of 2DSBs are also discussed on the basis of experimental data.
