Two-dimensional model of heat transfer in circulating fluidized beds. Part II: Heat transfer in a high density CFB and sensitivity analysis

Experiments were conducted in a 76 mm diameter jacketed riser of a dual-loop high-density circulating fluidized bed facility with FCC particles of 65 (mu)m Sauter mean diameter as bed material. The suspension temperature and the average and local suspension-to-wall heat transfer coefficients were measured. After superimposing the heat transfer results when the suspension near the wall is allowed to move intermittently downwards and upwards, the model proposed in Part I predicts the experimental results well. The model is used to investigate the effects of various operating parameters on the heat transfer process.
