A constant uniform magnetic field is produced by a Helmholtz electromagnet. The nature of fiuidization and heat-transfer characteristics of a horizontal electrically heated tube immersed in the bed were measured. The bed material is iron shots. Depending upon the intensity of magnetic field (weak, moderate and strong), the bed pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient are classified into three ranges of magnetic fields. The range of variation of maximum magnetic-field intensity is from 0 to about 20690 A/m.展开更多
