Abstract
Void properties (size, rising velocity)in the turbulent flow regime have been deter-mined in a 0.1m-ID X 3.0m high Plexiglas column of glass beads(dp=0.362mm) by using an optical fiber probe system. The bubble size increases with an increase in gas velocity in the slugging flow regime but it sharply decreases in the turbulent flow regime. The mean amplitude of pressure fluctuations is linearly related to the bubble or void size in the bed. The mean amplitude of pressure fluctuations is linearly related to the bubble or void size in the bed. The void rising velocity is almost constant in the turbulent flow regime. Uniform condition of the bed structure in the turbulent flow regime can be determined from the void distribution coefficient in the bed. In addition, the bed condition in the turbulent flow regime has been evaluated from the variations of the void velocity coefficient and the propulsive power of a rising void with gas velocity.
