MP-PIC investigation of glycerol steam reforming in bubbling fluidized bed for high-quality hydrogen production
A reactive multiphase particle-in-cell approach is adopted to numerically investigate the physical and thermochemical characteristics of glycerol steam reforming process in a three-dimensional bubbling fluidized bed.
Using a PID Controller Script to Control Boundary Conditions
In some Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations, it is useful to dynamically and automatically control flow rates, pressures, temperature, or other parameters at boundary conditions (BCs) based on information from data…
