The article presents a theoretical analysis of the flow distribution in an apparatus with a fluidized bed on the assumption of minimum energy loss in the movement of the fluidizing agent through a distribution grid and the bed. The conditions of uniform fluidization were found.
A bar above a quantity denotes its mean value, a tilde denotes uniform fluidization
