Abstract

The modified Rabinowitsch-Mooney equation together with the corresponding relations for consistency variables has been adopted for approximate solution of momentum transfer between generalized Newtonian fluid with laminar flow and surface of fluidized bed of spherical particles inclusive of wall surface. The solution has been concretized for a fluid characterized by power-law and Ellis flow models in the creeping flow region. The range of values of ratios of particle diameter to column diameter and that of porosity values e in which the suggested relation satisfactorily agrees with experimental results for pseudoplastic fluids have been delimitated experimentally.
