Liu, Xue; Howley, Maureen A.; Johri, Jayati; Glasser, Benjamin J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2008
A simplified model of an industrially relevant fluid-particle flow system is analyzed using linear stability theory. Instabilities of the uniform state of a fluidized bed are investigated in response to small flow perturbations. Students are expected to perform each step of the computational analysis, and physical insight into key mechanistic…
