“…where Qbt,EHE is the heat flux between the bed materials and tube wall in the EHE, mb,EHE is the mass of the bed materials in the EHE, Cb,EHE is the specific heat capacity of the bed materials in the EHE, and Tb,EHE is the temperature of the bed materials in the EHE. Qbt,EHE consists of two parts as well, i.e., the heat flux between the bed materials and immersed and exposed tube wall in the EHE, and can be determined as (7) where hbt,i,EHE and hbt,e,EHE are the heat transfer coefficients between the bed materials and immersed and exposed tube wall in the EHE, Abt,i,EHE and Abt,e,EHE are the heat transfer areas between the bed materials and immersed and exposed tube wall in the EHE, respectively, and Tt,EHE is the tube temperature of the superheater.…”
