Novel selective adsorption cooling materials for heating cigarettes by Chaojian Li, Xiaojuan You, Hongmei He, Huaibin Shi, Xin Gao, Wei Tang

“…Furthermore, the molecular simulation results found that the higher specific surface area and rich microscopic pore structure could increase the heat conduction area of the high-temperature flue gas, which enhanced the heat transfer effect of the flue gas. Finally, the periodic characteristic velocity pulsation destroyed the boundary layer formed by the fluid in the wall region, which increased the convective heat transfer effect between the fluid and the particles. …”
