Professor Grace is Canada's most eminent engineer and scientist in the field of fluidization. He has made outstanding contributions to the understanding of gas-solid fluidized beds, to the clean burning of fuels by fluidized bed combustion, to a new environmentally friendly process for producing hydrogen by steam reforming and to our understanding of other multiphase operations, including gas-liquid flow, gas-solid spouting, liquid fluidization and gas-liquid-solid fluidization.
