A model describing the entrainment of solid particles from gas‐fluidized beds of mixed‐size particles is proposed. It was tested with the limited experimental data published to date and was shown to be superior to existing models and correlations. The model demonstrates that the concentration of very fine particles in the bed can have a significant effect on entrainment.
