Heat transfer enhancement by fluidized solid particles in gas carrying evaporation

Heat transfer characteristics are studied for gas carrying evaporation with fluidized solid particles in a vertical rectangular conduit. Experimental results show that heat transfer of gas carrying evaporation is enhanced and the superheat of liquid in contact with heating surface lowers remarkably by introducing solid particles. Nucleate boiling on the heating surface is suppressed to a considerable degree. The mechanism of heat transfer enhance ment by fluidized solid particles is analyzed with the consideration of col lisions of solid particles with the boiling vapor bubbles.
