The present paper extends the previous investigations from this laboratory on ideal fluidized systems to a system which is somewhat nonideal. Mixtures of different but well‐defined glass spheres are fluidized by water to ascertain whether the principles developed for a single particle size still hold. The analysis indicates that the ideal prediction method gives a reasonable representation of the batch‐expansion curves for mixed sizes.
