    CFD-DEM Investigation of the Effects of Particle Size and Fluidization Regime on Heat Transfer in Fluidized Beds
    (Springer int Publ Ag, 2025) Alipoor, Mahdi; Kazemi, Saman; Zarghami, Reza; Mostoufi, Navid
    This paper presents an in-depth study of heat transfer in fluidized beds, employing the CFD-DEM technique. The primary focus is to examine the impacts of inlet gas velocity, fluidization regime, and particle size on the thermal behavior of fluidized beds. The results revealed that thermal convection predominantly governs heat transfer in fluidized beds, accounting for the largest fraction of the overall heat transfer process. Particle-fluid-particle thermal conduction was found to contribute approximately 10-20% of the heat transfer, whereas particle-particle conduction exhibits a minor role. Upon increasing the inlet gas velocity, the convection rate intensifies, whereas the particle-fluid-particle conduction rate decreases. Furthermore, the study highlights the differences in temperature distribution between turbulent and bubbling fluidized beds. Turbulent bed demonstrated a more uniform and homogenous particle temperature compared to bubbling. At similar fluidization numbers in bubbling beds, increasing particle diameter enhances thermal convection while reducing particle-fluid-particle conduction. In contrast, the turbulent regime shows minimal differences in heat transfer mechanisms when particle size varies. Additionally, smaller particles are found to significantly improve temperature uniformity in fluidized beds. A comprehensive comparison of simulation results with experimental data validates the accuracy of the employed model, reinforcing its ability to predict heat transfer in fluidized beds reliably. This research provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of various mechanisms of heat transfer within fluidized beds, enabling engineers and researchers to optimize bed performance and enhance temperature control in various industrial applications.

    Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification in Temperature Simulation of Borehole Heat Exchanger Fields for Geothermal Energy Supply
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Mohammadi, Hesam Soltan; Ringel, Lisa Maria; Bott, Christoph; Erol, Selcuk; Bayer, Peter
    Accurate temperature prediction is crucial for optimizing the performance of borehole heat exchanger (BHE) fields. This study introduces an efficient Bayesian approach for improving the forecast of temperature changes in the ground caused by the operation of BHEs. The framework addresses the complexities of multi-layer subsurface structures and groundwater flow. By utilizing an affine invariant ensemble sampler, the framework estimates the distribution of key parameters, including heat extraction rate, thermal conductivity, and Darcy velocity. Validation of the proposed methodology is conducted through a synthetic case involving four active and one inactive BHE over five years, using monthly temperature changes around BHEs from a detailed numerical model as a reference. The moving finite line source model with anisotropy is employed as the forward model for efficient temperature approximations. Applying the proposed methodology at a monthly resolution for less than three years reduces uncertainty in long-term predictions by over 90%. Additionally, it enhances the applicability of the employed analytical forward model in real field conditions. Thus, this advancement offers a robust tool for stochastic prediction of thermal behavior and decision-making in BHE systems, particularly in scenarios with complex subsurface conditions and limited prior knowledge.
