FLOW & HEAT TRANSFER IN A PACKED BED – STEADY STATE
This case study demonstrates the steady-state simulation of the heat transfer through a packed pebble bed. Of particular importance for the reactor model is the prediction of the pebble temperatures obtained in the case of natural convection driven flows that will prevail if the forced cooling flow though a pebble bed reactor should stop.
