The gas-solid mixing pattern in a fluidized bed is significantly affected by distributor plates. In order to study this impact, two different distributer plates orifice arrangement, namely, triangular and radial (TDP and RDP) are designed. The solid circulation patterns caused by each orifice arrang...
