Title: Measuring and modeling solids movement in a large, cold fluidized bed test facility. Fourth quarterly report, July 1, 1980-September 30, 1980

The principle of operation of the magnetic-particle, mass-flow measuring device was described in the first quarterly report. In addition, the results of a few preliminary tests which were carried out to show the feasibility of using this device were described in the third quarterly report. It was noted that the output signal from the device is proportional to velocity and that saturation of the material in the vicinity of the read coil had not yet been achieved. Thus, efforts during this quarter were concentrated upon two objectives - achieving saturation of the magnetic material in the vicinity of the road coil and establishing calibration procedures to be used with the device installed in a fluidized bed.
