Bed symmetry has been analysed in fountain confined conical spouted beds operating with fine particles. Thus, vertical particle velocities and the spout shape have determined a wide range of spouting air bed configurations. is widely accepted without draft tubes or nonporous ones, but this not case when open-sided are used. radial velocity profiles differ depending on cross-sectional angular pl...
