Advances in Fluidization and Fluid-Particle Systems

Fluidization is one of the chemical industries' essential processes, with a wide range of industrial applications. Advances in Fluidization and Fluid-Particle Systems continues AIChE's long commitment to charting significant fundamental breakthroughs in fluidization research and development, and innovative applications of new fluid flow technologies.

In 30 papers, representing the work of 90 researchers, the book explores such critical topics as: fluidization fundamentals; circulating fluidized beds; recent advances in fluid-particle separation; transport phenomena in fluid-particle systems; dynamics of particulate systems; micromechanics of fluid-particle systems; fluid-particle systems in the pharmaceutical industry; on-line particle sizing methods; and solids flow, handling, and processing. The volume includes an invited plenary paper by Ted M. Knowlton of PSRI in Chicago entitled, "Unique Problems and Solutions in Gas-Solids Flow." Knowlton's presentation, in the words of volume editor Desmond King, is "a thought-provoking review of some less than obvious aspects of standpipe flow."
