Maximum spoutable bed depths for mixed particle‐size beds of alundum, glass and polystyrene have been found experimentally to reach a peak at a critical particle Reynolds number of about 70. Using Becker's criterion that V m f = V mf and the correlations of Smith‐Reddy for V , and of Wen‐Yu for V mf , the maximum spoutable bed depths H max were theoretically predicted to reach a maximum at a critical N Rem = 68. The experimental maximum spoutable bed depts in a 6‐in. I. D. column fitted with a 60° cone were in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
