The use of rock pile thermal energy storage systems has been considered for solar energy and industrial
Question:
The use of rock pile thermal energy storage systems has been considered for solar energy and industrial process heat applications. A particular system involves a cylindrical container, \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) long by \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) in diameter, in which nearly spherical rocks of \(0.025-\mathrm{m}\) diameter are packed. The bed has a void space of 0.45, and the density and specific heat of the rock are \(ho=2300 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) and \(c_{p}=879 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\), respectively. Consider conditions for which atmospheric air is supplied to the rock pile at a steady flow rate of \(1.5 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}\) and a temperature of \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The air flows in the axial direction through the container. If the rock is at a temperature of \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), what is the total rate of heat transfer from the air to the rock pile?
