Rigorous methods of kinetic theory were used to derive particular phase viscosities and granular conductivities. This new kinetic theory predicted flow behavior and oscillations in a complete loop of a CFB. The results were compared to computations with imposed gas phase turbulence in the rise. The computations were repeated for production of synthesis gas from char. 6 refs., 12 figs., 3 tabs.
