Fluidized beds have been known for over a century, yet widespread application has only occurred in the last fifty years. They are now one of the most important chemical engineering technologies. Applications range from oil refining to drying processes, solids handling systems, boilers, metallurgical heat treatment furnaces and environmental protection measures. Fluidized Bed Technology: Principles and Applications presents the essential facts about beds of solid particles when fluidized by gases, and explains how the technology has been applied to yield fluidized bed boilers, furnaces, heat recovery systems and process plants. The text is accompanied by worked examples, using elementary mathematics, to illustrated practical considerations, and contains comprehensive references for further reading. Fluidized Bed Technology: Principles and Applications will give the reader confidence to pursue the subject in greater depth and develop their own ideas. This will be a useful text for engineering students, practising professional engineers, engineering consultants, fuel technologists, R & D engineers and scientists, and any who may have to train staff in this area.

Review
The preface to this book begins modestly: The primary objective of this book is to help beginners and students gain sufficient insight into the subject of fluidized bed technology from which they can form their own appreciation of the capabilities and limitations of the technology and proceed, if necessary to greater expertise. This, the book achieves admirably and I would guess that it will also be found of value to those who have already been working in this field for some years, especially those engineers who are mainly concerned with making plant work and only occasionally need to go back to see if a more theoretical approach might help ... a worthy addition to the still relatively few up-to-date books on fluidized beds.

Most concise presentation on the subject,

This review is from: Fluidized Bed Technology: Principles and Applications, (Hardcover)
I required this book for study on a dryer. The author provides an excellent, easily understood study on the subject with emphasis on heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Information on dryers is limited. This text focuses on combustion applications. Still, it is an excellent presentation.
If this review was helpful, please add your vote. Thanks.
