%0 Journal Article %T A CLUSTER MODEL FOR MASS TRANSFER IN RISERS %A DUVVURI SUBBARAO %J Journal of Engineering Science and Technology %D 2008 %I Taylor's University %X Gas to particle mass transfer coefficient in risers was observed to increase with gas velocity, decrease with solid circulation rate and decrease with particle size. A model to explain gas to particle mass transfer in risers is developed considering that particles move as clusters. The model equations compare well with the available experimental observations on gas to particle mass transfer coefficients in risers. %K Fluid catalytic cracker %K Riser %K Gas to particle mass transfer %K Cluster %U http://jestec.taylors.edu.my/Vol%203%20Issue%202%20August%2008/124-130%20Jamal.pdf
