CASE PROBLEM VII: Wall heat transfer coefficient predictions for beds filled with glass beads

Problem statement: The user searches for heat transfer coefficients taken at the reactor's wall (hw) which comprehend values between 100 and 500 BTU/hr/ft2/R into beds filled with glass beads. Following the inquiry, the user wants to study the potential of hw correlations/models on different aspects.

 
1) Based on the query results and without considering any other factors, which hw correlation showcases better accuracy for low interaction flow regime (LIR) operation experiments? Which correlation is better for high interaction flow regime (HIR) operation?

2) Based on the query results and without considering any other factors, which hw correlation is statistically more appropriate for cases involving gasoil (or a similar liquid) flow through a bed of glass beads?

3) Based on the query results and without considering any other factors, how does the operating pressure affects the wall heat transfer coefficient and which correlation provides better approximation potential for pressure operations approaching 10 atm?
