Analysis of flow through cylindrical packed beds with small cylinder diameter to particle diameter ratios
(2014)The wall effect is known to present difficulties when attempting to predict the pressure drop over randomly packed beds. The Nuclear Safety Standard Commission, “Kerntechnischer Auss-chuss" (KTA), made considerable efforts ... -
The effect of changing temperature and mass flow rate on the charging and discharging time in a horizontal packed bed passive space heating system
(North-West University, 2018)Research into rock-beds for residential use has declined over the past three decades. Although rock-beds were constructed for agricultural and solar home applications in the 1970’s and 1980’s, very little research has been ... -
Evaluation of the enhanced thermal fluid conductivity for gas flow through structured packed pebble beds
(North-West University, 2010)The High Pressure Test Unit (HPTU) forms part of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) Heat Transfer Test Facility (HTTF). One of the test sections that forms part of the HPTU is the Braiding Effect Test Section (BETS). ... -
Modelling the effective thermal conductivity in the near–wall region of a packed pebble bed
(North-West University, 2009)Inherent safety is claimed for gas-cooled pebble bed reactors, such as the South African Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR), as a result of its design characteristics, materials used, fuel type and physics involved. Therefore, ...
