Heat transfer in the fluidised bed

Investigates fluidised bed formation and heat transfer properties. Bulk solids behave like an incompressible fluid when air passes through them, a principle used in industrial drying and combustion.

• backlit glass reactor with sintered-metal inlet plate
• submersible heating element with adjustable power
• manual air flow setting via valve and flow meter
• comprehensive sensor suite for temperature, pressure, flow, and power
• software for data acquisition via USB under Windows 11
