Thermophysical Characteristics of a Cold Compressed Granular Medium: An Experimental Investigation

Abstract:

To our knowledge, very few models have described the thermal behavior of granular media or powders as a function of the mechanical stresses to which they are subjected. In recent years, many researchers have expressed great interest in establishing laws that can show the relationship between the apparent thermal conductivity and the mechanical behavior of granular media. This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer enhancement using granular blocks. A number of experiments were carried out in the test section of a wind tunnel where velocity and temperature measurements were performed. The velocity profiles permitted us to have an idea on the flow structure in the presence of granular blocks. The temperature measurements under various operating conditions (various Reynolds numbers and granular blocks structures) led us to the conclusion that using granular blocks can improve the thermal transfer in comparison with the case of a smooth channel and this enhancement is strongly dependent on the geometrical and thermo-physical properties of these blocks.
