GRANULAR BED AND A SURFACE

Comparative analysis of the existing relations for calculation 
of convective heat exchange between an infiltrated granular bed and 
surfaces of different geometry has been carried out. It is shown that 
different characteristic scales of the process of heat and mass transfer 
correspond to laminar and turbulent modes of filtrational flow. The 
occurrence of an analogy with heat transfer of a single-phase medium 
in a laminar mode has been found. A correlation for calculation of 
heat exchange between a vertical cylinder and an infiltrated granular 
bed has been obtained.
