Magnetically assisted gas-solid fluidization in a tapered vessel： Part I. Magnetization-LAST mode

Abstract This article presents further experimental results of the Magnetization-LAST mode in magnetically assisted gas-fluidized tapered beds, including external transverse magnetic field control of solid phase movement, central channel formation, spout depth and the pressure drop across the bed. Phase diagrams similar to those recently reported for the Magnetization-FIRST mode were also developed. Dimensional analysis based on “pressure transform” of the initial set of variables and involving the magnetic granular Bond number pertinent to particle aggregate formation was applied to develop the scaling relationships.
