How to Calculate and Solve for Bubble Diameter Ratio | Fluidization

Last Updated on July 28, 2021

The image above represents bubble diameter ratio.

To compute for bubble diameter ratio, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is Ratio of Linear Velocity of Gas (α).

The formula for calculating bubble diameter ratio:

The formula for this operation is:

BDR = (α + 2/α – 1)1/3

Where:

BDR = Bubble Diameter Ratio
α = Ratio of Linear Velocity of Gas

Let’s solve an example;
Find the bubble diameter ratio when the ratio of linear velocity of gas is 22.

This implies that;

α = Ratio of Linear Velocity of Gas = 22

BDR = (α + 2/α – 1)1/3
BDR = (22 + 2/22 – 1)1/3
BDR = (24/21)1/3
BDR = (1.1428)1/3
BDR = 1.045

Therefore, the bubble diameter ratio is 1.045.
