Engineering scale design of gas-solid heat transfer in vertical packed bed

An engineering heat transfer model was applied to calculate heat transfer in vertical sinter packed bed associated with sinter cooling process for ironmaking requirement. Ambient temperature air and hot sinter particles direct contact counter-current with recovery heat from hot sinter moving particles in vertical packed bed. This research was used to measure the gas-solid heat transfer characteristics, temperature field distribution, operation and mechanism design parameters in the vertical sinter packed bed. The actual production data was used to calibrate the heat transfer model in this research. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
