Abstract

An analytic expression is obtained for calculating the relative fluctuation of the number of particles in a fluidized bed. The fluctuation of the number of particles in a bed consisting of glass pellets fluidized with water has been experimentally investigated. The relative fluctuations obtained in these experiments are compared with the theoretical values for a fluidized bed and an ideal gas.
