Title: Mechanics--heat-transfer relation for particulate materials

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5750981

We have made considerable progress this quarter in measuring particle pressures in gas-fluidized beds moving far beyond the tentative findings in last quarter's report to reveal much about the internal structure of fluidized beds. These results were made by careful refinements in the design of the particle pressure transducer and, unfortunately, those changes altered the results so that it now seems unlikely that the heat transfer behavior of the fluidized bed will correlate with the particle pressure as was suggested in the proposal. 7 figs.
