3D numerical simulation of a directly irradiated bubbling fluidized bed with SiC particles
This paper demonstrates Barracuda Virtual Reactor’s capability to model irradiated fluidized beds using a P-1 radiation model
A Simulation Based Parametric Study of CLOU Chemical Looping Reactor Performance
For this study, researchers used CFD methods to perform a multivariable analysis of a dual fluidized bed
MP-PIC Simulation of the Effects of Spent Catalyst Distribution and Horizontal Baffle in an Industrial FCC Regenerator. Part I: Effects on Hydrodynamics
This joint paper by the China University of Petroleum, SINOPEC, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is part one in a two part series on the effects of internals on FCC regenerator performance.
Novel Fluidized Bed Particle Classifier for Application in Calcium Looping With Indirect Heat Transfer – Experiments and Simulations
In this paper, Barracuda is used to analyze how different particle species behave in a fully integrated regenerative calcium looping (FICaL) system
NO Emission from Cement Calciners Firing Coal and Petcoke: A CPFD Study
NO emissions from two in–line cement calciners operating with petcoke and coal, respectively, are predicted through CPFD simulation and compared with operational data.
Meal Drop to Kiln in Cement Preheater System
This video, courtesy of aixprocess GmbH, shows how the meal-drop to the kiln inlet shelf for a cement plant has been massively reduced through a simple modification, informed by Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation.
