Abstract
Theoretical expressions for bubble diameter in both small and large particle fluidized beds are derived by the application of two phase theory and gas flow continuity. Comparison with experimental data suggests that the numerical and analytical solution of these expressions, combined with empirical bubble frequency relations, can provide an accurate prediction of bubble size and its parametric trends. Several commonly employed empirical correlations of bubble diameter are shown to be derivable from a common theory, with differences among the correlations ascribed to variations in flow regime and bubble frequency.
