EFFECT OF OPERATING VARIABLES ON BED TO WALL HEAT TRANSFER IN A CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED

Abstract
Heat transfer coefficients were measured for 227 and 87 micron size particles of silica sand in a 102 mm dia. and 5.5 m tall circulating fluidized bed made of plexiglass. Effects of solid circulation rate, fluidization velocity, bed density and particle sizes were studied. The heat transfer coefficients were calculated from the temperatures measured along the axis of a 25 mm dia 100 mm long cylindrical heat flux meter.
