Abstract:We study the endothermic reaction and flow of a granular solid reactant, where energy for the reaction is provided by a counter-current flow of hot gases through the porous reactant bed. Research into reacting flows typically focusses on exothermic combustion processes. However, endothermic processes are common in the metallurgy industry, including the production of cement, silicon and rutile titanium dioxide. Several common features are observed in experimental and numerical studies of these processes, includ… Show more
