Abstract:One of the primary types of sensible heat storage systems in drying applications is the packed rock bed. However, to create large‐scale heat storage systems for industrial use, one must comprehend the hydrodynamic and effectiveness of the heat transport mechanism inside the bed. In this study, the thermal storage unit uses river rock as heat storage materials with equivalent particle diameters of 36 mm in bed 1 and 56 mm in bed 2. The rocks were stacked in a truncated cone‐shaped concrete wall section with an … Show more
