Two ideal droplet length ( l ,) distributions have been derived for two different droplet shapes. The dispersed phase holdup ( ϵ d ) increases with increasing dispersed phase velocity ( U d ), but decreases with increasing continuous phase velocity, ( U c ) in three‐phase fluidized beds. In the droplet‐coalescing flow regime, l v and the droplet rising velocity ( v d ) increase, but the spherical droplet fraction (k) decreases with increasing U d and u c . In the droplet‐disintegrating flow regime, the effects of u d and U c on l v and k are insignificant, but v d increases with increasing U c . Maximum values of l v , occur in the bed containing 1.7 mm diameter particles and l v has an uniform length of around 2.0 mm in beds with particle size larger than 3.0 mm.
