Flow through Particle Layers
Product Code : JA-AM-6487
The Flow through Particle Layers unit (SKU JA-AM-6487) is a bench apparatus for investigating the fluid mechanics of flow through packed beds and fluidised beds, as found in reactors and in cake and depth filtration. A fillable glass test tank with a sintered-metal plate as the base for bulk solids can be flowed through with water from either end: from the top for packed bed studies and from below for fluidisation. Water is taken from the laboratory supply. It is supplied by JaincoLab for chemical and process engineering laboratories.
Specifications
The unit has a fillable glass test tank with a sintered-metal support plate, connections for water flow from the top or the bottom and a laboratory water connection; tank dimensions, flow and pressure measuring ranges are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the particle layer flow unit
Students fill the glass tank with a bulk solid, measure pressure loss against flow for downward flow through the packed bed and then reverse the flow to find the point of fluidisation.
- Pressure loss in packed beds (Carman-Kozeny)
- Onset of fluidisation and minimum fluidisation velocity
- Bed expansion in a fluidised bed
- Comparing different bulk solids and particle sizes
- Mechanical operations practicals
