A bed of spherical particles (specific gravity 2.5) of uniform size 1500 μm is 0.5 m in diameter and 0.5 m high. In packed bed state, the porosity may be taken as 0.4. Ergun’s equation for the above fluid-particle system (in SI units) is given below : Δ P/L = 375 × 103 VOM + 10.94 × 106 V2 OM (SI units) If water is to be used as the fluidising medium, the minimum fluidisation velocity, VOM is_________________?
