On free convection in a heat-releasing granular bed

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Free convection in a heat-releasing granular bed for constant and exponential forms of heat release has been mathematically modeled on the basis of a two-temperature model. The extremum character of the dependence of the flow rate of the gaseous heat-transfer agent on the heat-release power and bed "choking" (cessation of the heat-transfer-agent filtration) for higher-than-average heat releases have been established. Dimensionless dependences for calculation of the flow rate of the heat-transfer agent and its outlet temperature in the region of stable convection have been obtained.
