Entropy Generation In A Rectangular Packed Duct With Wall Heat Flux, Yaşar Demirel, Ramazan Kahraman Sep 1998

Entropy Generation In A Rectangular Packed Duct With Wall Heat Flux, Yaşar Demirel, Ramazan Kahraman

Papers in Thermal Mechanics

The entropy generation due to heat transfer and friction has been calculated for fully developed, forced convection flow in a large rectangular duct, packed with spherical particles, with constant heat fluxes applied to both the top (heated) and bottom (cooled) wall. An approximate analytical expression for the velocity profile developed for packed bed with H/dp > 5 has been used together with the energy equation of fully developed flow to calculate the non isothermal temperature profiles along the flow passage. The velocity profile takes into account the increase in the velocity near the wall due to the higher voidage in this …
