WL 225 Heat Transfer In The Fluidised Bed Didactic Equipment Vocational Education Equipment Thermal Lab Equipment
Heat transfer from a heating element to the fluidised bed Features - fluidised bed formation with air in a glass reactor - illuminated glass reactor for optimal observation of the fluidisation process Learning objectives/experiments - basic information on the fluidisation of fixed beds - pressure curve within the bed - pressure losses depending on -- flow velocity -- particle size of the bulk solid - determination of the fluidisation velocity - heat transfer in the fluidised bed -- influence of the air flow rate on the heat transfer -- influence of the heater position -- influence of the particle size -- determination of the heat transfer coefficient Specification [1] examination of the fluidised bed formation and the heat transfer in the fluidised bed [2] fluidised bed of compressed air and aluminium oxide, particle sizes either 100µm or 250µm [3] glass reactor, backlit [4] glass reactor with sintered-metal plate at the inlet and air filter at the outlet [5] heating element, submersible and with adjustable power output [6] manual setting of the air flow rate via valve and flow meter [7] sensors with digital displays for temperature at heater, air inlet, in fluidised bed, pressure upstream of the reactor and in the fluidised bed, air flow rate, heating power [8] steel rulers for measuring the immersion depth of the heating element and the height of the fluidised bed [9] safety valve, temperature switch at the heater, air filter at the outlet [10] software for data acquisition via USB under Windows 10
