We apply positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) to a gas-solid fluidized bed with injection of a secondary gas through a centrally arranged nozzle and present a method to compute stationary fluid-dynamic characteristics of the system from the trajectories of a test particle. In order to evaluate this non-invasive method we compare the field of density obtained by PEPT with the density obtained by a traditional, well-established and approved, yet invasive, measurement technique to find good agreement. Besides the penetration depth of the jet region and the opening angle of the jet which are inferred from the density field, we use PEPT to measure quantities whose measurement using traditional methods is rather sophisticated, including the residence time of particles in the jet region and the suspended phase, the coefficients of axial and radial dispersion and the material flux across the jet boundaries. We conclude that PEPT is a reliable and at the same time versatile technique to measure stationary fluid-dynamic properties of dynamical particle systems at spatial resolution only limited by the duration of the measurement.
