Abstract
Natural convection heat transfer of heated packed bed was investigated. Experiments were performed for a single heated sphere buried in unheated packed beds varying its locations and for packed beds with all heated spheres varying the heights of packed beds from 0.02Â m to 0.26Â m. Mass transfer experiments using a copper electroplating system were performed based upon the analogy between heat and mass transfer. The diameter of sphere was 0.006Â m, which corresponds to Rad of 1.8Â ÃÂ 107. For the single heated sphere cases, the measured results agreed well with the existing natural convection heat transfer correlations for packed beds and even with those for a single sphere in an open channel. For all heated sphere cases, the average heat transfers decrease with increasing packed bed heights.
