The GUNT unit demonstrates the fluidisation of solid particles using upward-flowing air or water. It enables the observation and analysis of fluidised bed formation, a critical process used in drying, roasting, and combustion applications. By varying flow rates and observing particle movement, users can distinguish between fixed bed and fluidised bed states. Pressure loss measurements and bed height changes provide insight into fluid dynamics and particle-fluid interaction.
