HEAT TRANSFER TO HORIZONTAL TUBE BANKS IN THE SPLASH ZONE OF A FLUIDIZED BED OF LARGE PARTICLES.

Abstract

Measurements are reported for the extent of the splash zone and for corresponding tube heat transfer coefficients in horizontal banks of both bare and finned tubes. The tests were conducted with beds of silica sand (0. 93-mm mean diameter) fluidized with air at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature in a 0. 3 m multiplied by 0. 3 m facility.
