TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed composite relations for the variation of the heat transfer coefficient along the plate surfaces, and the mathematical development and verification of such composite relations as well as the formulation and solution of the optimizing equations for the various boundary conditions of interest constitute the core of the presentation.
Abstract: While component dissipation patterns and system operating modes vary widely, many electronic packaging configurations can be modeled by symmetrically or asymmetrically isothermal or isoflux plates. The idealized configurations are amenable to analytic optimization based on maximizing total heat transfer per unit volume or unit primary area. To achieve this anlaytic optimization, however, it is necessary to develop composite relations for the variation of the heat transfer coefficient along the plate surfaces. The mathematical development and verification of such composite relations as well as the formulation and solution of the optimizing equations for the various boundary conditions of interest constitute the core of this presentation.

TL;DR: Theoretical expressions for bubble diameter in both small and large particle fluidized beds are derived by the application of two phase theory and gas flow continuity as discussed by the authors, and the numerical and analytical solution of these expressions, combined with empirical bubble frequency relations, can provide an accurate prediction of bubble size and its parametric trends.
