Sand Core Engineering & Process Modeling
This paper presents validation and application of Arena-flow for sand core blowing and curing processes.
Characterization of the void size distribution in fluidized beds using statistics of pressure fluctuations
This paper demonstrates a correlation between in-bed pressure fluctuations and information about bubble size distribution for Geldart A and B powders.
Kinetic Model Based on a Molecular Description for Catalytic Cracking of Vacuum Gas Oil
The kinetic model in this paper is based on a molecular approach and is proposed to represent the cracking reactions of industrial feedstocks on a commercial equilibrium catalyst; given that it shows the importance of the condensation and hydrogen transfer reactions for coke formation and gasoline quality, it therefore can be used for modeling a commercial FCC riser.
Modeling of Vaporization and Cracking of Liquid Oil Injected in a Gas–Solid Riser
This paper documents how the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach can be used to simulate simultaneous evaporation and cracking reactions occurring in FCC riser reactors.
Scale-up of fluidized-bed hydrodynamics
The scale-up of fluidized beds is not an exact science. Deep fluidized beds of Group A materials can cause significant gas bypassing leading to poor gas-solids contacting.
