We need to calculate the flow rate of air required for fluidization of the bed. We have a compressor which gives air at 7 bar and a 1 bar rotameter for measuring the flow rate in LPM. How can I calculate the flow rate required for fluidization theoretically?

The pressure drop over the bed is typically close to the bed weight divided by the bed area. Once the pressure drop is known, you can calculate the velocity required to reach this pressure drop, for example by the Ergun equation.

On the basis of particle size, cal dP, then wrt dP cal velocity using Archimedes No.
