Fluidized beds are extensively used in a variety of industrial applications, such as heat recovery systems, coal combustion, and solid particle drying. The effect of the position of the heat transfer tube on heat transfer from a horizontal bare tube in a 150 mm square cross-section fluidized bed containing large particles, ragi, and mustard is investigated. The influence of varying fluidizing velocities on heat transport is also examined for a fixed bed height of the large particles. When the position of the tube from the distributor plate was increased in 0.028m increments from 0.52 m to 0.080 m and then to 0.108 m, the heat transfer coefficient was reduced. Due to enhanced fluidization, all bed heights yielded almost comparable heat transfer coefficient values at velocities exceeding 1 m/s, 170 and 160 W/m2K for ragi and mustard, respectively. The dependency of the heat transfer coefficient on fluidizing velocity is qualitatively like that of small particles. An error deviation of around 8.8% was found when comparing experimental heat transfer coefficient values to those predicted from empirical correlations in the published literature.
