In order to replace hazardous molten lead baths in the heat treatment of carbon steel wire with environmentally friendly fluidized bed furnaces a better understanding is needed of their heat transfer rates. There has been considerable work done in examining heat transfer rates to large cylinders immersed in fluidized beds, and some on wire sized ones as well, but all previous studies have been conducted on static cylinders. In order to gain a deeper understanding of heat transfer rates to a moving wire immersed in a fluidized bed furnace an apparatus has been constructed to move a wire through a fluidized bed. The heat transfer rates were calculated using the difference in inlet and outlet temperatures, wire speed and the bed temperature. As predicted, correlations for static wire were found to under-predict heat transfer rates at higher wire speeds, so a new correlation was developed by modifying an existing one.


From an experimental investigation of superfluid film transfer in narrow beakers in helium II it emerges that there are probably two kinds of film. A ‘normal’ film is formed by superfluid creep over a dry substrate. A ‘thick’ film remains when liquid has drained from a substrate that has previously been immersed in the liquid helium bath. A comparison has been made of the superfluid flow between the two types of film. Scatter of values of transfer rate associated with a normal film is attributed to third sound generated by bath waves impinging on the meniscus at the base of the film. The thick film shows an enhanced rate of transfer which can persist for long periods of time in quiet conditions, but which can be abruptly diminished by disturbances such as bath surface agitation. There is a maximum stable length for a thick film exhibiting the full enhanced rate. The enhanced rate can be as much as 60% greater than the normal rate at 1° K, but the difference between the two rates of transfer disappears above 1.8 °K. No enhanced rate of transfer at any temperature is observed in beakers as large as 8 mm diameter.
