Flow patterns within a 3D bed of oil-containing seeds fluidised by nitrogen have been observed for the first time using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Attention was focused on the lower region of the bed, just above the multi-orifice distributor: the orifices were 1.0 or 1.5mm in diameter with square or triangular layouts, of pitch 7–10mm. Two sizes of seeds were used: 1.2 and 0.50mm. Each MRI image was a time-average over ∼5min and measured the local concentration of seeds. Values of U/Umfwere in the range 0.0–3.6, where U is the superficial gas velocity and U=Umfat incipient fluidisation. The images revealed: Simple correlations between dimensionless groups summarise the measurements well, giving the length and half angle of a ‘jet’ in terms of the gas velocity and other variables. These correlations are consistent with published results and include a dependence on the pitch of the orifices, which was found to be important.
