Water is pumped upward through a bed of 1 mm diameter iron oxide particles (SG = 5:3). If the bed porosity is 0.45, over what range of superficial water velocity will the bed be fluidized?

Repeat Problem 1 but with the slurry described by the power law model, with a consistency of 60 poise and a flow index of 0.18.
