Abstract Heat transfer characteristics of a turbulent, dilute air-solids suspension flow in thermally developing/developed regions were experimentally studied, using a uniformly heated, horizontal 54.5 mm-ID pipe and 43-μm-diameter glass beads. The local heat transfer was measured at 27 locations from the inlet to 120-dia downstream of the heated section over a range of Reynolds numbers 3×104−1.2×105 and solids loading ratio 0–3, and the fully developed profiles of air velocity/temperature and particle mass flux were measured at a location 140-dia downstream of the heated section using specially designed probes, inserted into the suspension flow. The effects of the Reynolds number, solids loading ratio, and azimuthal/longitudinal locations on the heat transfer characteristics and their interactions are discussed through comparison of the present results with the data obtained by other investigators.
