The general purpose of the experimental investigations described here has to study the hydrodynamic properties of gas-liquid fluidized beds. Gas -liquid fluidization of or three-phase fluidization is a chemical engineering operation where all the three phases are brought into contact with each other. This contact is brought about by passing the gas and liquid trough the bed of solids. The solids are said to be in a fluidized state when they are suspended in the continuous phase.Hydrodynamic properties such as gas hold-up, liquid hold-up and bed porosity have been studied. These properties...

Chemical engineering students and chemical engineers are being asked to solve problems that are complex, whether the applications are in refineries, chemical or pharmaceutical plants. The aim of this book is to demonstrate the problems in chemical engineering which have to solve by Finite Difference Methods. This book is a thorough presentation of Finite Difference Methods used in Chemical Engineering. The goal of this book is to help you practice better chemical engineering. It also contains case studies with worked out examples to demonstrate the Finite Difference Method. This book is for...
