“…As a result, the granular material can be utilized for production of catalysts, oxides, fertilizers and powder foods, etc. The properties of particles, such as size [8], shape [9], density [10], conductivity [11], concentration [12] and so on, will have great impact on flow and thermal behavior of particles, such as the heating or insulating capacity. For example, Grah et al [13] presented a modeling study of radial heat transfer in catalyst packing, and paid attention to the tube/particle diameter ratios.…”
