A particle-to-particle heat transfer model for dense gas-solid fluidized bed of binary mixture
A particle-to-particle collisional heat transfer model in the frame of Eulerian-Eulerian approach was proposed in this paper. By incorporating it into the multi-fluid model to close the enthalpy equations, the heat transfer between different particle classes in a gas bubbling fluidized bed of binary mixture was investigated, based on the CFD simulations of particle mixing in literature (Cooper and Coronella, 2005). The results showed that the particle-to-particle heat exchange coefficient between different particle classes increases with increasing the size of large particle class and the superficial gas velocity. The ratios of the particle-to-particle heat transfer to the gas-to-particle heat transfer range from 8.04% to 15.0% for various calculating conditions. In order to better understand the heat transfer behavior in a dense gas-solid fluidized of binary mixture, it is important to take the particle-to-particle heat transfer into account.
