Abstract
A study is made of a homogeneous granular layer of thickness h and porosity ɛ in which heat is released uniformly with bulk power q. The heat is taken up by a uniform gas flow through the layer in the transverse direction of the y axis at velocity v ° produced by a given pressure difference across the layer. This scheme corresponds to the simplest model of a gas-cooled nuclear reactor, in which the heat release does not depend on the thermogasdynamic state. The case of a chemical reactor with heat release of Arrhenius type is considered in [1, 2].
