Radiative heat transfer in the discrete element method using distance based approximations

EF Johnson, İ Tarı, D Baker - Powder Technology, 2021 - Elsevier
A model to estimate radiative heat transfer in particle beds is developed for use in the
Discrete Element Method (DEM). Monte Carlo ray tracing simulations are run to find the …

Advances in modeling high temperature particle flows in the field of concentrating solar power

EF Johnson - 2021 - open.metu.edu.tr
Within the field of concentrating solar power (CSP), central receiver (“tower”) type systems
are capable of achieving temperatures reaching or exceeding 1000 ⁰C. To utilize this heat …
