The measurements of the solids mean circulation velocity and the turbulent stresses in a fluidized bed were made by using the Computer-Aided Particle Tracking Facility (CAPTF) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The results, when generalized, should be of great significance in the formulation of momentum conservation equations and the development of realistic hydrodynamic models for gas solid fluidized beds. In addition, the influence of solids hydrodynamics on local heat transfer from tube banks immersed in a fluidized bed was also experimentally studied, together with a theoretical analysis of heat transfer associated with spherical particles impacting a solid surface.
