The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Abstract Experimentally measured values for the minimum fluidization velocities and time averaged local surface heat transfer coefficients are provided for 16 different cases of fluidizing conditions for gas-solid dense fluidized beds. Semi-empirical Correlations for the minimum fluidization velocity and the heat transfer coefficient at minimum fluidization velocities are provided. The implications of the Peclet number dependence in terms of diffusion and convection is discussed.

Minimum Fluidization

The hydrodynamics behavior of gas - solid fluidized beds is complex and it should be analyzed  and understood due to its importance in the design and operating of the units. The effect of column inside diameter and static bed height on the minimum fluidization velocity, minimum bubbling velocity, fluidization index, minimum slugging velocity and slug index have been studied experimentally and theoretically for three cylindrical columns of 0.0762, 0.15 and 0.18 m inside diameters  and 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09 m static bed heights .The experimental results showed that the minimum fluidization and bubbling velocities had a direct relation with column diameter and static bed height .The minimum slugging velocity had an inverse relation with static bed height and a direct one with column diameter .There was no agreement between the experimental and calculated values of Umb for Di=0.0762m ,this was a result to the assumption used in the correlation development. The fluidization index values were around 1 in all cases and that proved that the material is of Geldart type B. There was not a significant dependence of fluidization index and slug index on static bed height and column diameter.

Bubbling Fluidized Bed

Gas flow in a gas–solid fluidized bed is characterized by the predominance of bubbles. When gas flow is more than the minimum fluidization velocity, the top of the fluidized bed may fluctuate vigorously leading to unstable operation. Bed fluctuation and fluidization quality are interrelated. The quality of fluidization can largely be improved by introducing baffles in bubbling and turbulent fluidized beds. In the present work three baffle geometries, i.e., circular, triangular and square are used to determine different hydrodynamic parameters such as minimum fluidization velocity, bed expansion, pressure drop across the bed, fluctuation ratio, expansion ratio, etc. in a bubbling fluidized bed. A new parameter blockage ratio is introduced to analyze the behaviour of baffled fluidized beds. It is found from the current experimental studies that the blockage ratio mainly influences the hydrodynamics of the bed rather than the shape of the baffle.
