Abstract
Heat transfer coefficients have been determined in a fluidized solids bed under a wide variety of conditions. The variables studied were particle size, bulk density under nonfluidized conditions, particle shape, and air velocity. Simple correlations have been established predicting the value of h in the air flow range investigated. An equation predicting the minimum fluidizing velocity has also been derived.
