Heat transfer from an immersed vertical tube in a gas-fluidized bed
Abstract
The total heat-transfer coefficient, h/sub W/, is measured for vertical tubes of diameters 12.7, 28.6, and 50.8 mm immersed in beds of glass beads and silica sands at ambient conditions as a function of fluidizing velocity. A general trend of the dependence of h/sub W/ on the tube diameter is observed. This trend is most explicit for h/sub W,MAX/, which consistently increases as the tube diameter decreases. The correlations of Nu/sub MAX/ proposed by various investigators are found incapable of predicting Nu/sub MAX/ values, and, therefore, a correlation is proposed which reproduces all the existing and present data with +-25%. The dependence of h/sub W/ on tube diameter is discussed and explained in the context of distributor design, bed geometry, and hydrodynamics.
