This paper investigates the capability of the Multiphase Particle in Cell (MP-PIC) approach for modeling a bubbling fluidized bed of Geldart A particles.
In order to create fast fluidized beds designed to maximize coal gasification yields and designed to provide an optimum syngas composition with minimum operational upsets, a comprehensive model for steam gasification is created using CPFD methods.
This article presents a Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation of combusting gas and particle flow within the Duisburg 250 MW CFBC chamber.
In this paper, an early version of Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to validate experimental data for an acrylonitrile fluidized bed reactor.
This paper by Sam Clark of CPFD Software illustrates a multiphase simulation of a commercial-scale fluidized catalytic cracking unit with complex internal geometries and how the computational model can be used to predict wear on internal structures.
This work shows the development of a three-optical fiber probe to study the behavior of the bubble in bubbling fluidized gas-solid beds.
In this work, James Parker presents a CPFD model compared with JPL data for the deposition rate, silicon fines production, and temperature distribution within a silane deposition reactor.
In this CPFD Software whitepaper by James Parker, a reactor using solid MGS particles fluidized by hydrogen chloride gas which reacts to form primarily TCS and hydrogen gas is discussed.
Snider, Clark and O’Rourke present an extension of the CPFD methodology to include an enthalpy equation that describes energy transport for fluid, and provides for transfer of sensible and chemical energy between phases and within the fluid mixture, with application to a fluidized bed coal gasifier.
