We have investigated the radiation heat transfer occurring in a gas-solid fluidized bed between fluidizing particles and a cooled heat transfer surface. Experimental results reveal that cooled fluidizing particles exist near the surface and suppress the radiation heat transfer between the surface and the higher temperature particles in the depth of the bed. The results also clarify the effects of fluidizing velocity, optical characteristics of particles, and particle diameter on the radiation heat transfer. Based on these results, the authors propose a model for predicting the radiation heat transfer between fluidizing particles and a heat transfer surface.
