Fluidization Simulation Workshop
CPFD Software engineers will be teaching a half-day Fluidization Simulation Workshop on Friday, September 22, 2017, from 8:00 am until noon at the PSRI offices in Chicago, IL. The course…
Computational fluid dynamics study of the dry reforming of methane over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst in a membrane reactor. Coke deposition
This work investigates the dry reforming of CH4 as an important process for the conversion of greenhouse gases to synthesis gas. The paper is an attempt to numerically analyse by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) the coking and gasification mechanisms in the lab-scale membrane module with a fixed-bed supported nickel catalyst (Ni/Al2O3).
Creating a Ring of Injection BCs
Typical circular air distributors will have ring(s) of nozzles which can be modeled with Injection BCs. Determining the x,y,z location and nx, ny, nz direction of each nozzle can be challenging…
Intrusive Probes in Riser Applications
In this paper, Barracuda Virtua Reactor was used to help disprove the notion that probes do not affect the data collected in circulating fluidized bed risers and prove that intrusive probe measurements consistently mispredict the behavior of the system.
