Heat transfer in a circulating fluidized bed

On the basis of similarity theory a relationship is established for calculating the conductive-convective component of the coefficient of heat transfer in a circulating bed. Recommendations on the calculation of the total coefficient of heat transfer in a high-temperature bed are given. The gas gap between the heat-transfer surface and the first row of particles is evaluated. Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 71, No. 3, pp. 447–453, May–June, 1998.
