Characteristics of temperature fluctuations and heat transfer coefficient have been investigated in the riser of a circulating fluidized bed (0.102 m ID and 4.0 m in height). Effects of gas velocity and solid circulation rate on the temperature fluctuations, suspension density and heat transfer coefficient between the immersed heater and the bed have been considered in the riser. To analyze the characteristics of temperature fluctuations at the wall of the riser, the phase space portrait and Kolmogorov entropy of the fluctuations have been obtained, and the relation between the temperature fluctuations and the heat transfer coefficient has been examined. It has been found that the heat transfer system becomes more complicated and irregular with decreasing gas velocity and increasing solid circulation rate or suspension density in the riser. The heat transfer coefficient and Kolmogorov entropy of the temperature fluctuations have decreased with increasing the superficial gas velocity, while they have increased with increasing the solid circulation rate or suspension density in the bed. The heat transfer coefficient has been well correlated in terms of the Kolmogorov entropy, suspension density as well as operating variables in the riser.
