The characteristics of coarse / fine particles have been studied using a cylindrical spouted bed. The effects of different system parameters (viz. static bed height, particle size, particle density and superficial velocity of the medium) have been analysed to study the bed dynamics such as bed expansion / fluctuation ratio, bed pressure drop and fluidization index of coarse / fine particles. Mathematical expressions have been developed on the basis of dimensionless analysis. Finally calculated values of these bed dynamics have been compared against the experimentally observed values. The comparison results show very good agreement between the experimental and calculated values thereby indicating the application of these correlations over a wide range of parameters.
