摘要
Using fundamental aspects of the fluid mechanics of a single particle, a relation for the velocity of liquid necessary to suspend solid particles in a shallow depth column is derived. This liquid velocity is developed by the movement of the gas bubbles inside the column with the potential energy dissipated by the bubble during its ascent taken as the gain in the kinetic energy of the liquid. This energy brings about sufficient liquid motion to suspend the particles. The corresponding superficial gas velocity to suspend all the particles present in the column is theoretically estimated and compared to experimental values of superficial gas velocities obtained for various solids concentrations. A set pattern of deviation is observed, and empirical correlations are suggested for predicting the superficial gas velocity to suspend a given amount of solid particles in liquid.
