A vertically held packed bed has a height of 1 m, and a void fraction of 0.1. when there is no flow through the bed. The incipient (minimum) fluidization is set in by injection of a fluid of density 1 kg m-3. The particle density (ρp) of the solids is 3000 kg m-3. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m s-2. The pressure drop (in Pa) across the height of the bed is _______ (round off to nearest integer).
Correct : 26487
