What is Sphericity ?

Sphericity is a measure of how closely an object or particle approaches the shape of a perfect sphere. It is a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of the surface area of a sphere with the same volume as the object or particle to the actual surface area of the object or particle. It ranges between 0 and 1, nearer to 1 resembles sphere, where Non spherical Objects values nearer to 0.

What are Fluidized Reactors ?

Fluidized bed reactors are a type of chemical reactor where a bed of solid particles is suspended and behaves like a fluid due to the upward flow of gas.
