Abstract

In this study on the nature of pressure signals generated by a deterministic or stochastic process in a bubbling fluidized bed, pressure fluctuation measurements were carried out in a 300-mm-diamet column at 0.090 m and 0.40 m above the distributor for different gas velocities. The method of detecting deterministic dynamic underlying pressure signals is proposed on the basis of predictability of pressure fluctuations. The deterministic nature of dynamics in fluidizing system was verified. The deterministic level of dynamics in fluidizing system was analyzed for different locations of pressure measurements and different gas velocities.
