Binary experiments were carried out considering both equal and unequal solid mass ratios ranging from 0.16 to 6.0. The overall bed expansions including segregated and intermixed zones were monitored. The effect of loading pattern on bed expansion was found insignificant in a binary SLFB. In a completely segregated SLFB, bottom mono-component layer displayed a negative deviation up to 30% whereas a positive deviation up to 22% was found in top mono-component layer when compared to respective individual monocomponent SLFBs. The total bed height of binary mixture was found to be unequal to sum of expanded bed height in individual mono-component SLFB, showing either positive or negative deviations. The experimentally observed criterion of the bed independency has been tabulated. Eulerian-Eulerian (E-E) CFD simulations with kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) have been performed and compared with the experimental data. The CFD predictions were found to be in good agreement (within ±6 per cent deviation) when compared to experimental results.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:07 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22807 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25103 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:01 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22907 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:09:32 AEDT ]]>
