The present study provides a comprehensive experimental work about fluidized bed gas-solid system characteristics by using different solid particles. Naphthalene, silica gel and sand (197 µm diameter) are utilized as a solid particles while air is used for fluidization. An experimental rig is build to test the various solid particles and to establish a good description of flow and heat transfer patterns for the fluidized bed gas-solid system. Based on the experimental tests, it is found that the solid particle type has a significant influence on the gas-solid flow dynamics. The experimental tests are performed for various fluidized bed velocities ( 0.8 , 1.2 and 1.6 m/sec ) and when the heat fluxes are varied as 80 , 120 and 160 W respectively. Experimental measurements are carried out under steady state situation. Depending on the experimental results , it can be concluded that sand solid particles are better than silica gel and naphthalene solid particles for heat transfer enhancement. Also, it can found for naphthalene , silica gel and sand solid particles that as the fluidized bed velocity and heat flux increase the temperature distribution along the fluidization column increases.
