In this method, the particles are resolved as the discrete phase （individual elements） coupled via heat, mass and momentum transfer to the continuous gas phase. The temperature of particulates along the backward acting grate is investigated by evaluating effects of operating parameters such as bar amplitude and period. Furthermore, the bar motion has effects largely on the heat-up process of the packed bed on the backward acting grate which is considered here as well. In other words, motion of particles caused by bar motion influences the heat transfer of particles and totally the packed bed. In fact, the particles＇ heat-up is performed by a radiative heat flux facing the packed bed surface so that heat transfer of particles as radiation and conduction with surrounding particles is taken into account in addition to convection heat transfer between particles and surrounding gas phase.展开更多
