Effects of various operational parameters, such as draft tube superficial air velocity and solid inventory and design parameters such as jet diameter and clearance between perforated plate and draft tube bottom on the solid circulation rate of a recirculating fluidized bed are studied. A simple butterfly valve arrangement was used for the direct measurement of the solid circulation rate.
