Laboratory-Scale Tests on Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed Behaviour And Its Influence on Bed Thermal Properties

Abstract

The success of many industrial processes depends upon good contact between a fluid and particulate solid. A fluidized bed fulfils the requirements for this good contact. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the heat transfer characteristics of a small scale, gas-solid fluidized bed. An empirical equation is presented for determination of heat transfer in such a medium.
