Discrete element method as a tool for modelling of thermal processes in a mixing bed of granular materials

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A two-dimensional discrete element method is applied to heating of spherical particles in a horizontal rotating drum. The results are presented in terms of the overall heat transfer coefficient, and are compared with the penetration model and results of experiments taken from literature. The limitations of such continuum models are discussed along with the potential of DEM.
