Heat Transfer in Fluidized Beds : Springer : 9780412608001 : 0412608006 : 31 Oct 1997 : A prestigious form of research grant in Germany is the Sonderforschungsbereich, which provides continuous funding over a period of up to 15 years, but only as long as the work is yielding worthwhile results. We acknowledge financial support of our work at Erlangen by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Sonder­ forschungsbereich 222. Thanks to this support, the experimental results from six Dr. -Ing. dissertations have provided the basis for our book: 8 ? Schweinzer, J. (1987) Heat transfer in bubbling fluidized beds at Ar;a. 10 ? Seiter, M. (1990) Particle motion and solids concentration in circulating fluidized beds ? Mattmann, W. (1991) Heat transfer in pressurized circulating fluidized beds ? Burschka, A. (1993) Pulsed light method ? Dietz, S. (1994) Heat transfer in bubbling fluidized beds ? Gruber, U.
