How to Calculate and Solve for Bubble Diameter Ratio | Fluidization
Last Updated on May 8, 2024
The image above represents bubble diameter ratio. To calculate 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
So, 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 are 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
Then, 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 are 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
So, db = 32 / 4
db = 8
Therefore, the bubble diameter is 8.
