Gas/Solid Mixing and Heat/Mass Transfers in Fluidized Beds

Heat and mass transfer are critical in the performance of fluid/solid systems. A fundamental understanding of these systems behavior and properties is crucial for the optimization of many practical applications. This session invites papers dealing with mass and heat transfer in a broad sense, including fundamental and application studies in gas/solid, liquid/solid, and gas/liquid/solid fluidized beds. Theoretical and experimental investigations involving either novel or conventional approach will be considered. A review paper on the topic will also be welcome.
