For the same particles, what would happen if an upward flowing fluid ( = 950 kg/m3, = 0.0015 Pas) at 6 mm/s is passed through the bed? If the catalysts are fluidized, what would be the mass fraction of the catalyst particles that is entrained (i.e. moving upwards and out of the reactor with the fluid flow)? The catalyst sphericity is 0.6. Hint: Volume distribution in Table 1 can be converted into mass distribution.
