Minimum fluidization velocity and pressure drop, as the most important parameters, were taken into account for the investigation of the hydrodynamic behavior of the material inside the fluidized bed. The volume bed expansion of carbon nanotubes has been also investigated and the effect of the N2:CH4 flow rate ratio to obtain the highest bed volume expansion for maximum carbon nanotubes accumulation has been reported UR - https://www.ije.ir/article_72627.html L1 - https://www.ije.ir/article_72627_3c47259227b42db93edd9aff859026f9.pdf ER -
