Comparison of Entrainment Rate in Acrylonitrile Reactors Using Plant Data and CFD Simulations
In this paper, an early version of Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to validate experimental data for an acrylonitrile fluidized bed reactor.
Particle-Fluid Flow Simulations of an FCC Regenerator
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.
Understanding Standpipe Hydrodynamics Using Electrical Capacitance Tomography
Standpipes are often the bottleneck in a circulating fluidized bed processes. Understanding the pressure build and dissipation in a standpipe is critical in designing and operating a standpipe that can meet production needs.
Erosion in Second Stage Cyclones: Effects of Cyclone Length and Outlet Gas Velocity
The main objective of this study is to shed light on the mechanism by which this erosion takes place, and how different design and operating parameters affect the erosion.
