The fluidization process

The study of heat transfer in a fluidized bed is an additional part of the Gas Solid Fluidization unit.

This additional equipment allows the characterization of heat exchanges.

We can measure the value of heat-transfer coefficient for different configurations of the bed of particles: fixed bed, fluidized bed and only air.

From a network of curves, we will plot the evolution of heat-transfer coefficient as a function of the air flow rate for a constant temperature of the filament.

This equipment can also define the criteria for fluidizing the alumina powder by monitoring the air flow and the pressure drop of the bed.

Determine the kinetic graphs for linear phase and diffusion phase drying

Study of the thermal convection coefficient (option)

Compare the thermal convection coefficient for various medium configurations: in air, in a bed

of fixed particles and in a bed of fluidized particles.
