The rise or fall of a liquid interface in a capiUaiy can be easily calculated by writing the balance of forces on a cylindrical column of height H (see Fig. 5). The water at the bottom of the tube, leveled with the free surface of the liquid, is at atmospheric pressure. The hydrostatic pressure drop just below the meniscus is balanced by the vertical component of surface tension at the wall. 

Ordinarily, liquid level in the lower barrel is controlled by torque tube level controls and diaphragm-t3 e valves. Connections for liquid level gauges, pressure gauges, and drains are provided. 

The tube exchanges heat with its surrounding particles and fluid. The local HTC has a distribution closely related to these observed flow patterns. The distribution and magnitude of HTC are two factors commonly used to describe the heat transfer in such a system (Botterill et al., 1984 Schmidt and Renz, 2005 Wong and Seville, 2006). The effects of the gas velocity and the tube position are examined, showing consistent results with those reported in the Hterature (BotteriU et al., 1984 Kim et al., 2003 Fig. 23). The local HTC is high at sides of the tube aroimd 90° and 270°, while it is low at the upstream and downstream of the tube aroimd 0° and 180°. With the increase of gas velocity, the local HTC increases first and then decreases (Fig. 23A). The local HTC is also affected by tube positions and increases with the increase of tube level within the bed static height as shown in Fig. 23B.
