The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) to characterize the heat transfer and flow properties of particulate (granular) flows at elevated temperatures of up to 800°C. Experimental measurements, modeling, and simplified flow experimentations would be performed in order to further understanding of particulate flow behavior for concentrated solar power applications.
