Product Code : SCL-CELE-14171
Overview
The Permeability / Fluidization Studies
Apparatus is a compact benchtop trainer designed for the
experimental study of flow characteristics through packed and fluidized beds
of granular materials. The unit allows observation of the pressure drop
across a bed, the onset of fluidization, and the verification of
Kozeny’s equation.
Constructed from non-corrosive and
transparent materials, the setup provides clear visualization of flow
patterns and air bubble formation. A precision flowmeter and differential
manometer ensure accurate measurement of flow rate and pressure drop. The
apparatus is ideal for laboratory demonstrations and practical studies in chemical,
civil, and environmental engineering.
A detailed Operation & Maintenance
Manual is supplied, enabling easy setup, operation, and experimental
analysis.
