Fundamentals of fluidized bed technology . Although gas/solids fluidized beds have long been successfully employed in a variety of industrial processes, the design and optimization of fluidized bed reactors still presents considerable difficulties, owing to the complex nature of gas/solids flow in the fluidized bed. The present review collects various flow‐mechanical principles for the design of fluidized bed equipment. The central role of flow mechanics in the operating properties, and in particular for scale‐up of fluidized bed reactors, is illustrated for the model of a simple heterogeneously catalyzed gas‐phase reaction.
