The viability of matching hydrodynamic conditions in a hot bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) combustor and a cold BFB model are being evaluated. Similitude parameters are being matched in a 20.32 cm diameter BFB combustor and a 5.08 cm diameter cold BFB. In addition, tests are planned to investigate the effect loaded solids above the L-valve have on the flow rate
