Thermodynamic Analysis Of Convective Heat Transfer In An Annular Packed Bed, Yasar Demirel, R Kahraman

YASAR DEMIREL

A combination of the first and second law of thermodynamics has been utilized in analyzing the convective heat transfer in an annular packed bed. The bed was heated asymmetrically by constant heat fluxes. Introduction of the packing enhances wall to fluid heat transfer considerably, hence reduces the entropy generation due to heat transfer across a finite temperature difference.
