Abstract
This study investigates the interdependent influence of microstructural parameters and thermodynamic (temperature between 298 K and 473 K, pressure between 0.1 Pa and 3 107 Pa, various gas composition e.g., air, Ar, H, He, N) conditions of the atmosphere on thermal transport within granular media. To accurately describe the thermal conductivity behavior, we propose an extended analytical model based on the Rombouts’s model (Rombouts et al., 2005). This study investigates three types of microstructures: dense non-cohesive particles, dense and cohesive particles and porous non-cohesive particles. Analysis of the results provides a precise understanding of the influence of these typical microstructure parameters on thermal conductivity. We underscore the pivotal roles of intraparticle porosity in governing the heat transfer transition in the gas phase. A comparative analysis between our model and a percolation model approach reveals a robust correlation between the two formulations. Our findings indicate that an increase in conductance between particles leads to an enhanced thermal coordination within the system, consequently shifting the thermal percolation threshold to higher values (from 0.1 to 0.5).
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
