Heat transfer between a supernatant gas and a flowing vibrofluidized bed of solids
A novel concept of recovering heat from hot gases using countercurrently flowing vibrofluldized solids (that is, solids levitated solely by mechanical vibration) has been proposed and tested. Based on a theoretical heat transfer model, the heat transfer coefficient between the air and the solids …
