What is the range of Reynolds number(Re) for small particles in the fluidization bed?

(a) Re < 20

(b) Re > 20

(c) Re > 1000

(d) 20 > Re < 1000

I have been asked this question during an interview.

My doubt is from Minimum Fluidizing Velocity in section Fluidization and Mapping of Regimes of Fluidization Engineering

Best answer
The correct option is (c) Re > 1000

Explanation: Since larger particles require large velocity of gas to lift the particles, hence the Re is large.
