Hydrodynamics and Transient Heat Transfer Characteristics in Fluidized and Spouted Beds

Hydrodynamics and heat transfer characteristics found in fluidization were studied in a small scale laboratory fluidized bed. Experiments were designed to capture field data on multiple slit jet gas distributor systems for the validation of computational models. Localized data was quantified through...
