Abstract

Fluidization technology has been a very important process in chemical, environmental, and energy industries. Fluid dynamic characteristics in a fluidized bed has a direct binding on solid mixing and heat and mass transfers between gas and solid phases. Suspensions of fine particles in either Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluids finds its presence in physical, engineering and biological sciences. Reinforced composites, paints, paper, slurries, cements etc which are particle laden products need the processing of fine particles. Forces like the Van Der Waals force capillary and cohesive forces leads to aggregate formation in liquids which prevents the fine particles from suspending properly. Way out from this problem is to use forces like magnetic field, electrical field, acoustic field and mechanical. This process is termed as homogeneous fluidization. In this work we try to explore the effects of acoustic field in homogenous fluidization document.
