Residence time distribution of solids in multistage fluidisation
TL;DR: In this paper, the residence time distribution of the solids in multistage fluidisation, wherein downcomers for transferring solids from stage to stage are provided to the horizontal perforated plates, is experimentally investigated covering a wide range in process variables using flat, baffle and spiral plates developed in the study.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-parameter mathematical model for expressing the residence time distribution in multistage systems is proposed, in which a fraction of the feed short-circuits each stage consists of an active backmix region and a dead region with cross-flow of the material between the two regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the theoretical models, experimental data and the range of applicability along with the correlations to predict the characteristics of the bed and discussed the correlations with respect to the theoretical model and experimental data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cross-flow model was matched with the experimental data taken subsequently on the residence time distribution of solids in a multistage fluidised bed, and conditions for smooth fluidisation were suggested.
