Flow through Particle Layers

Product Description

Flow through Particle Layers:

Micro Teknik

Learning Objectives / Experiments

- learning the fundamentals of flow through fixed beds and fluidised beds (Darcy)

- observation of the fluidisation process

- pressure loss dependent on the flow rate, type,

  particle size and height of the bulk solid

- determination of the fluidisation velocity and

  comparison with theoretically calculated values

Features :-

1. Experiments in the fundamentals of fluid mechanics on particle layers1

2.  Flow through fixed beds1

3.  Flow through fluidised beds1

4.  Pressure loss in fixed beds and fluidised beds

Specification :-

[1] Investigation of the properties of fixed and fluidised beds subjected to liquid flow

[2] Glass test tank with sintered filter medium on its base

[3] Test tank removable for filling

[4] Downward flow to investigate fixed beds

[5] Upward flow to investigate fluidised beds

[6] Flow meter with valve for adjustment

[7] 2 manometers with differing measuring ranges to measure pressure loss through the test tank
