Abstract
A survey is given of experimental data on mixing in fluidized beds of small and large diameter. Two-phase theory is used to express mixing in terms of mass-transfer and dense phase eddy diffusivity.
Early unpublished information on the performance of commercial catalytic cracking regenerators is used to provide some approximate figures on the mixing behaviour of these units. Two other full scale reactors are analysed in a similar way.
A comparison between small and large fluidized beds shows that differences and similarities can probably be explained on the basis of flow regimes.
