.~.~.~ With augmented turbulence (in addition to normal mixing in bed)
DEFINITION
Classification: 208/158
(under subclass 153) Processes wherein the suspended solids are subjected to some step to increase the turbulence or mixing thereof which increases the motion of the solids beyond that necessary to maintain the solids suspension.
(1) Note. Additional mixing or turbulence may, for example, be accomplished by use of a mechanical stirrer or by applying some vibrations to the solids suspension.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
163+, for processes including steps for decreasing the solids mixing in a fluidized bed by retarding the top to bottom movement of the particles.
