Review on erosion of horizontal tubes immersed in fluidized beds of Geldart B particles
The erosion of internals is a major problem in fluidized beds. This review collects, discusses, and compares key experimental and numerical results on erosion of internals immersed in fluidized bed with Geldart B (sometimes near D) particles, comparing the different models and experimental data available in the literature.

Regulating the crude oil–to–chemical process in a multizone fluidized bed reactor using unconventional catalyst formulations
This paper investigates adding silicon carbide and adjusting the crude oil–to–chemicals process in a multizone fluidized bed reactor to improve the performance in terms of morphology of hydrodynamics and thermal conductivity
Correlating measurement qualities of cross-correlation based solids velocimetry with solids convection-mixing competing mechanism in different gas fluidization regimes
This paper presents a method used to analyze local solids residence time distribution (RTD) and explore impact of gas-solids fluidization regime on RTD.
