Abstract
The purpose of this work is to investigate the heat transfer inside and outside a fully loaded cart with corn spikes. To do so a well known commercial CFD code was used to model the fluid flow inside and outside a porous media with thermal energy transfer. The aim of this paper is to validate the chosen models with an experiment conducted in the field and open the possibility to design an efficient colling system for this application.
