Abstract:
On the basis of analyzing the heat transfer performance of solid granular beds, an unsteady-state heat conduction model describing 
the temperature change of the grains is built and the finite-difference implicit schemes are theoretically deduced using the volume 
equilibrium method for numerical simulation. The validation of the numerical model is checked through compared with the experimental 
results. A temperature collection system is designed and developed. As a part of the system, an initial temperature simulator for 
measuring the initial temperature of grains is also developed according to the similarity principle. This system can accurately measure 
the temperature field and real-time average temperature of the grains and simultaneously transfer the temperature information to the 
computer terminals through the controller area network bus.
