  • In present days we are much believed computer aided (simulation) results much more than our experimental results even though time consumption, low-cost processes and we can get the efficient results when compare to experimental results. In this task, I compared my experimental results with simulation results (Ansys fluent version 17.2) in the solid liquid reverse fluidized bed system. In this, I did this comparison using Gidaspow drag model and remaining parameters were same the particle diameter was changed. I found that the hydrodynamic behavior by experimentally and by simulation those were bed height profile, pressure drop profile and Voidage profile by changing the velocity profile
