Hydrodynamics of High Velocity Circulating Fluidized Bed Risers
In this research the solids flux measurements showed the risers having different shapes of radial profiles. The net solids flow direction at all radial locations was found to be upward for the conditions used in this study.
Use of pressure to mitigate gas bypassing in fluidized beds of FCC catalyst particles
This publication demonstrates that pressure fluctuations and local bubble void fraction can diagnose gas bypassing
Comparison of Numerical Approaches to Model FCC Particles in Gas–Solid Bubbling Fluidized Bed
The hydrodynamics of FCC particles in a bubbling fluidized bed are predicted by both Barracuda Virtual Reactor and by a CFD model, and their results were compared.
CPFD Simulation on Wear Mechanisms in Disk–Donut FCC Strippers
In this paper, three cases of Barracuda Virtual Reactor models were established to validate three speculations on wear mechanisms; the simulated locations with the highest wear magnitudes are agreeable with the wear accidents reported in industry.
Comparative study of Transport Disengaging Height (TDH) correlations in gas–solid fluidization
In this publication, Transport Disengaging Height correlations are evaluated across Geldart Groups, polydispersity and velocities.
Investigation of particle velocity in FCC gas-fluidized beds based on different measurement techniques
A comprehensive experimental database for travelling fluidized bed model testing is extended
Simulation of an Internally Circulating Fluidized Bed Using a Multiphase Particle-in-Cell Method Author Links Open Overlay Panel
This paper demonstrates that Barracuda Virtual Reactor’s MP-PIC method is a reliable tool for modelling bubbling fluidized bed behavior of non-cohesive particles.
