Abstract
The focus of this work is to systematically characterize the heat transfer and flow properties for particulate (granular) flows at elevated temperatures up to 800 °C. This work is intended to address a serious gap within the field related to the understanding and modeling of particulate flow behavior and the related heat transfer at different temperatures, which directly correspond to the operating points of concentrated solar power applications that use particles for heat storage. These objectives will be accomplished using a combination of fundamental experimental measurements, modeling, and simplified flow experimentations over a range of temperatures. Ceramic sintered bauxite proppants will be used as a baseline for comparison with a range of other particles used for various applications. These results will be made available during the project to the research community to provide updated guidance and inputs to current modeling efforts to improve their results.
