I am looking for correlations or predictions for the effect of suspended particles (at different volume fractions and for different flow regimes) on heat transfer and mass transfer of solutes in a (continuous) liquid phase.
I think you might find your answer in the book "Bubbles, drops and particles", R Clift et al. (1978) or look for Journal publications by Dr Martin Sommerfeld.
I am working on some tangential results in rheology. I'd be very interesting to see what you find. Most of my work here is acoustic.
Since phonon lifetimes tend to be very short, I always assumed the mean field approach would do very well for heat. Is this not the case? For mass transport I think there has been a lot of work going back to Jeffreys on how flow affects irregular particles orientation. I know there is some transport effect like shear enhanced viscosity. I wrote something in the last year but have not sent it off for publication since I am still tweaking it.
