Description

This paper reports on a numerical heat- transfer analysis in the combustion chamber of a pebble bed regenerative heat exchanger carried out for the heating period. A radiative zone method coupled with chemical and two-dimensional fluid dynamic calculations is employed in the analysis, and the results agree well with the measured data. The analysis also shows that higher temperature can be obtained at the top of the pebble bed by optimizing the geometries of the combustion chamber and the burner
