A series of experimental researches or, unsteady heat transfer between
gas and solids have been made in an adiabatic bed, used in a new plan
t of cryogenic recycling of tired tyre. The gas-solids temperature pro
files with different bed length levels and a wide range of Reynolds nu
mbers are presented, and from which a Nu-Re correlation is obtained. B
ased on the results, a new mathematical model is proposed. It would be
clear that the model as well as the experimental results are useful f
or both theoretical research on unsteady heat transfer and design of c
ryogenic recycling plant.
