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, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas (dc) and Bubble Diameter (db).

The formula for calculating bubble diameter ratio:

BDR = dc/db

Where:

BDR = Bubble Diameter Ratio
dc = Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas
db = Bubble Diameter

Let’s solve an example;
Find the bubble diameter ratio when the diameter of cloud recycling gas is 24 and the bubble diameter is 12.

This implies that;

dc = Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas = 24
db = Bubble Diameter = 12

BDR = dc/db
BDR = 24/12
BDR = 2

Therefore, the bubble diameter ratio is 2.

Calculating the Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas when the Bubble Diameter Ratio and the Bubble Diameter is Given.

dc = BDR x db

Where;

dc = Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas
BDR = Bubble Diameter Ratio
db = Bubble Diameter

Let’s solve an example;
Find the diameter of cloud of recycling gas when the bubble diameter ratio is 10 and the bubble diameter is 9.

This implies that;

BDR = Bubble Diameter Ratio = 10
db = Bubble Diameter = 9

dc = BDR x db
dc = 10 x 9
dc = 90

Therefore, the diameter of cloud of recycling gas is 90.

Calculating the Bubble Diameter when the Bubble Diameter Ratio and the Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas is Given.

db = dc / BDR

Where;

db = Bubble Diameter
BDR = Bubble Diameter Ratio
dc = Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas

Let’s solve an example;
Find the bubble diameter when the bubble diameter ratio is 4 and the diameter of cloud of recycling gas is 32.

This implies that;

BDR = Bubble Diameter Ratio = 4
dc = Diameter of Cloud of Recycling Gas = 32

db = dc / BDR
db = 32 / 4
db = 8

Therefore, the bubble diameter is 8.
