Work published on gas-solid fluidization since 1986 is reviewed, with emphasis on findings
that appear to be new or to represent significant steps forward in advancing the …

An automated non-intrusive image analysis method has been developed for following the
course of solids mixing in two-dimensional bubbling fluidized beds. In this investigation …

Air-fluidized beds of two types of powder (groups A and B of the Geldart classification) have
been examined using X-rays and the voidage distributions around individual gas bubbles …

Experimental investigations into the effects of coal particle size and process variables
(fluidized bed depth, superficial gas velocity, coal to magnetite feed weight ratio and …

This investigation was concerned with the effects of coal properties and process variables,
such as fluidized bed depth, superficial gas velocity, coal to magnetite feed weight ratio, and …

One of the techniques for Hg capture in coal-fired boilers involves injection of activated
carbon (AC) into the boiler downstream of the air preheater. Hg is adsorbed onto the AC …

Solid and gas distributions are tomographically quantified as a function of position with high
resolution in a series of laboratory fluid beds containing air and polyethylene particles. The …

A scintillation gamma camera was used for measuring the instantaneous velocity profile and
average velocity as well as the trajectories of a radioactive particle in small laboratory scale …

The spatial distributions of solids and gas were determined with high resolution X-ray CAT
scanning in air/polyethylene fluid beds. The frequencies of voidage distribution were used to …

I wish to express my gratitude to my advisor, Professor Edward K Levy, for his valuable
suggestions and thoughtful support throughout my graduate study. I would like to thank the …
