A novel solids separator for a chemical looping reactor was designed at NETL using Barracuda Virtual Reactor, and the final as-built separator performed well.
A novel Eulerian–Lagrangian approach based on the multi-phase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) methodology was applied in the simulation of the hydrodynamic behavior of pressurized high-flux circulating fluidized beds (DHFCFBs), and the sensitivities of key models and modeling parameters on the predictions were tested systematically.
This paper demonstrates that Barracuda Virtual Reactor is well suited for simulating dense particle laden fluids present in steam gasification systems due to its numerical solving methods for both the particles and the fluid.
About This Video This videos shows the model of a full-scale, 3D, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler using Barracuda Virtual Reactor®. This is a simulation of an actual operating unit…
Heat transfer between a particle and the surrounding fluid is calculated using a correlation for the Nusselt number in Barracuda. While default correlation values are provided in Barracuda, there may…
