2013 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Circulating Fluidized Beds and Measurement Techniques in Fluid-Particle Systems

Papers on circulating fluidized beds and their applications are invited. For example, topics may cover but not limited to the experimental and computational studies related to solids motion and mixing, heat transfer in ciruclating fluidized beds, hydrodynamic modeling and reactive systems. In addition, any novel measurement techniques in fluid-particle systems are of interest
