Numerical simulation of heat transfer in a gas solid crossflow moving packed bed heat exchanger

Abstract

The mechanism of heat transfer in a crossflow moving packed bed heat transfer exchanger is analyzed and a two dimensional heat transfer mathematical model has been developed based on the two fluid model (TFM) approach, in which both phases are considered to be continuous and fully interpenetrating. This model is solved by means of numerical method and the results are approximately in agreement with the experimental ones.
