A mathematical model of a fluidized-bed combustor will be developed which will include coal combustion phenomena and will incorporate basic mass transport relationships, bubble mechanics, heat transfer and confi¬guration effects. A cold model test bed will be designed, constructed and operated to generate data in support of the effort in developing the mathematical model. In particular, experiments will provide data concern¬ing heat transfer effects of tubes and tube bundles in fluidized beds, bubble formation, dispersion etc.
