Slug behavior in inclined fluidized bed.

The characteristics of slugs, such as slug size and slug rising velocity, were investigated by use of an inclined fluidized bed of relatively large height compared with its diameter.The ratio of the vertical slug diameter (width) to the horizontal diameter (height), slug rising velocity and so on were affected by the angle of the inclined bed and the gas velocity. An empirical equation of the relationship between the diameter ratio and the rising velocity was obtained.
