A two‐region model of a spouted bed, postulating vertical plug flow of gas in the spout and dispersed plug flow along curved streamlines in the annulus, is proposed. The extent of axial dispersion is accounted for by a coefficient D which is an adjustable parameter of the model. Experimental support for the theory is provided by residence time‐distribution data obtained by using helium gas as tracer, covering a wide range of conditions. Values of the coefficient D, determined from a comparison between predicted and observed RTD curves, are generally higher than those reported for packed beds but much smaller than those for fluidized beds.
