This is a set of Matlab .fig files corresponding to the figures in the paper 'Experimental investigation of monodisperse solids drying in a gas-fluidized bed' published in Chemical Engineering Science. 
In this study, experiments in a pseudo-2D fluidized bed setup were performed to obtain insight in the complex and changing bed hydrodynamics and its interplay with mass and heat transfer. 
The data was obtained by using a combined Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Digital Image Analysis (DIA) and Infrared (IR) technique. 

The dataset consists of the following .fig files whereof a short description is given below:

Figure 2: Minimum fluidization velocity determination using the mean pressure drop over the bed. The minimum fluidization velocity is determined to be equal to 0.64 m/s.
Figure 3: Overall heat transfer coefficients obtained from the steady-state heat loss experiments.
Figure 7 A and B: Time-averaged solids volume fluxes for the 1.25umf drying case at two different times.
Figure 8 A, B, C and D: Time-averaged solids volume fluxes for the 1.50umf drying case at four different times.
Figure 9 A, B, C and D: Time-averaged solids volume fluxes for the 1.75umf drying case at four different times.
Figure 10 A and B: Vertical solids volume flux at a h=5.47cm for the four corresponding drying times.
Figure 11 A and B: Mean particle temperature and standard deviation over time for the three different superficial velocities.
Figure 12 A, B and C: Particle temperature PDF for the three different superficial velocities at the four corresponding times.
Figure 13: Accumulative particle temperature distribution of the 1.25umf case.
