The process of a nonuniform wall heating of a square cavity and the resulting natural
convection phenomenon is numerically analyzed within the present work. While the left …

This manuscript discusses developing a model-based scale-up methodology for a
successful technology transfer of gas-phase catalytic reactors from a lab-scale to a pilot …

Effective thermal conductivity (ETC, k eff) is one of the key thermophysical properties of
packed granular beds, but there is currently no formula that can be used to calculate the …

Pebble beds have been employed in thermal storage and energy systems, where they are
typically used to promote heat exchange in high-temperature environments. Understanding …

Packed beds with internal heat sources are widely used in various engineering applications.
But the effects of the internal heat source on the flow and heat transfer in the packed beds …

Purpose The purpose of this study is analysis of the natural convection and entropy
production in a two-dimensional section of the considered heat exchanger. For this purpose …

The efficient heat transfer and energy storage during periods of excess energy production,
like peak solar or wind power generation, is facilitated by the compact design and closely …

The discharge flow characteristics of particles are crucial in many industrial applications,
and the shape of particle is an important influencing factor to the particle flow behavior. In …

The solid breeding blanket with typical packed bed structure is a key component for tritium
breeding and thermal conversion in future fusion reactors. The pore scale model for multi …

Natural convection heat transfer is measured in a horizontal enclosure filled with a gas-
saturated porous medium composed of glass spheres. The height-to-pore scale ratio (H/d) is …
