The results of experimental investigations on the hydrodynamics of flows through conical beds of tablets are presented. An equation for predicting the minimum spouting flow rate, developed earlier on the basis of the Ergun equation, has been verified applying a known equation for tablets. The results of investigations on fluid‐to‐particle heat and mass transfer coefficients are in agreement with theoretical values obtained from correlation equations describing drying kinetics.
