Non-spherical particle mixing behaviors by spherical inert particles assisted in a fluidized bed

Abstract Fluidized beds are widely used in many industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical and energy. In actual industrial processes, spherical inert particles are typically added to the fluidized bed to promote fluidization of non-spherical particles. Understanding mixing behaviors of binary mi...
