| Abstract: | Experiments are conducted to measure the heat transfer rates to air-cooled horizontal tubes of diameter 38.1mm in the freeboard region of a pilot-scale fluidized-bed combustor burning North Dakota lignite- Silica sand with diameter ranging from 883 to 973 μim is used as bed material. The tests are carried out without limestone addition and ash recycle, at average bed temperatures ranging from 698 to 1117K, freeboard temperatures of 700 to 1139 K and superficial velocities of 1.74 to 1.86 m/s. Among the existing correlations, those proposed by George and Grace (1982), and Byam et al. (1981) are found to predict the experimental results quite well and their root-mean-square deviations are found to be 15.8 and 18.4 percent respectively. @KEYWORDS: Heat transfer, Fluidized bed Coal combustor |
