Calculate the flow rate of water (in gpm) required to fluidize a bed of 1/16 in. diameter lead shot (SG = 11.3). The bed is 1 ft in diameter, 1 ft deep, and has a porosity of 0.18. What water flow rate would be required to sweep the bed away?

Calculate the range of water velocities that will fluidize a bed of glass spheres (SG ¼ 2:1) if the sphere diameter is: (a) 2 mm, (b) 1 mm, (c) 0.1 mm.
