Numerical Study of Heat Transfer in Gravity-Driven Particle Flow around Tubes with Different Shapes

In the present paper, the heat transfer of gravity-driven dense particle flow around five different shapes of tubes is numerically studied using discrete element method (DEM). The velocity vector, particle contact number, particle contact time and heat transfer coefficient of particle flow at differ...
