Thermal stress in externally irradiated tubes of solar central receivers with a gas–particle fluidized dense suspension
Using Barracuda, this study found that particle-based solar tubular receivers reduce maximum thermal stresses by 73% compared to molten salt receivers and by 67% when doubling the thermal power per unit area, though steel tube temperatures still exceed allowable limits under typical CSP solar flux.
Modeling and optimizing gas solid distribution in fluidized beds
This paper by Raj Singh, Paul Marchant, and Steve Shimoda at Technip Energies discusses how to use Barracuda Virtual Reactor to improve gas solid distribution in fluidized beds
