β¦ Synopsis
The dynamic response of a gas fluidised bed has been measured for a range of particle sizes of lead glass ballotini and a range of particle Reynolds numbers. A dispersion model has been formulated that includes the effects of gas and particle mixing,fluid-to-particle heat transfer and intraparticle thermalconductivity,and the dynamic thermal response in theory has been found by solving the partial differential equations in the Laplace transform domain. The coefficient of thermal dispersion, the particle-to-fluid heat transfer coefficient and the intraparticle thermal conductivity have been found for the experimental response by non-linear regression. The coefficient of axial dispersion wasfoundtobelargeand theparticle tofluidheattransfercoefficientsagreedwithanestablished correlationforfixedand fluidisedbeds.Theintraparticlethermalconductivityagreed withliteraturevaluesforleadglass,theestimatesshowedno trend with flowrate, and the standard deviation of the estimate was three times smaller than the deviation found from similar experiments in fixed beds.

Nelson and Galloway's theory of particle to fluid mass transfer in dense systems of fine particles is re-examined and modified slightly to make it applicable to liquid fluidised beds. The resulting expression agrees with published data although these are inadequate to test it critically.
The thermal frequency response of beds packed with glass and metallic particles has been measured in the range of Reynolds numbers from 0.05 to 330.

Heat transfer data were obtained using a small electrically-heated simulated plate immersed in a liquid-fluidised bed. For steel balls and for spherical and cylindrical particles of glass fluidised by dimethyl phthalate, two correlations valid over the voidage range 0.40-0.85 were obtained; one was
