A catalyst having spherical particles with dp ¼ 50 mm and s ¼ 1:65 g/cm3 is to be used to contact a hydrocarbon vapor in a fluidized reactor at 9008F, 1 atm. At operating conditions, the fluid viscosity is 0.02 cP and its density is 0.21 lbm=f t3 . Determine the range of fluidized bed operation, i.e., calculate;
(a) Minimum fluidization velocity for "mf ¼ 0:42.
(b) The particle terminal velocity.
