Heat Transfer Coefficients of Moving Particle Beds from Flow-Dependent Particle Bed Thermal Conductivity and Near-Wall Resistance
Sarath R. Adapa, Xintong Zhang, Tianshi Feng +5
Determination of heat transfer coefficients for flowing packed particle beds is essential to the design of particle heat exchangers, and other thermal processes. While such dense g…
Micromechanical Origin of Heat Transfer to Granular Flow
Xintong Zhang, Sarath Adapa, Tianshi Feng +5
Heat transfer to a granular flow is comprised of two resistances in series: near the wall and within the bulk particle bed, neither of which is well understood due to the lack of e…
Thermal Conductivity Measurement Using Modulated Photothermal Radiometry for Nitrate and Chloride Molten Salts
Ka Man Chung, Tianshi Feng, Jian Zeng +8
Molten salts are being used or explored for thermal energy storage and conversion systems in concentrating solar power and nuclear power plants. Thermal conductivity of molten salt…
Thermal Conductivity Modeling of Monodispersed Microspheres using Discrete Element Method
Jian Zeng, Ka Man Chung, Xintong Zhang +4
Particle beds are widely used in various systems and processes, such as particle heat exchangers, granular flow reactors, and additive manufacturing. Accurate modeling of thermal c…
