Residence Time Distribution and Hydrodynamics Studies of a Swirling Fluidized Bed

wirling fluidized bed has a lot of applications in various industries. Its ability to improve mass and heat transfer, causing vigorous mixing of particles is the main reason why it is preferred over other types of fluidized bed most of the time. Even so, the number of researches done is still little...
