This comprehensive book is designed to serve as a valuable resource for engineers and students seeking to address challenges related to fluidized bed systems. It offers a detailed analysis that specifically focuses on predicting the fluid dynamic behavior, particularly in cases where empirical data is limited or unavailable. The second objective of this book is to provide a user-friendly treatment of computational fluidization dynamics, making it accessible to individuals without specialized expertise in the field.

The approach adopted in this book begins by formulating predictive expressions for the fundamental conservation equations for mass and momentum using the kinetic theory of granular flow. These expressions serve as the foundation for the subsequent analyses presented throughout the book.

The analyses showcased in this publication encompass a wealth of simulations and experimental research conducted over the past two decades. These extensive studies have been extensively published in numerous reputable journals, contributing to the development of a robust foundation for university course modules in engineering and applied science, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Furthermore, this material serves as a valuable resource for specialized, post-experienced courses aimed at professionals working in the process and allied industries.

By presenting a comprehensive and accessible approach to fluidized bed systems, this book aims to enhance the understanding and expertise of engineers and students in this field. It provides a valuable tool for those seeking to advance their knowledge and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for complex industrial applications.
