Abstract
An investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of system pressure on jet penetration in fluidized beds. The study was conducted in a 12-inch (0.305 m) semicircular, transparent column fitted with a 1-inch (2.54 cm) diameter nozzle over a pressure range of 50–750 psia (345–5171 kPa). System pressure was found to increase jet penetration significantly more than existing correlations predict.
