This webinar on Barracuda Virtual Reactor 24.0, to be hosted by CPFD on May 8, 2024, provides overview of new features and enhancements including rotating and time-varying gravity, particle-to-particle thermal conduction, and SFF option to disable interpolation between rows.
CPFD will be attending tcbiomass2024, September 10-12. CPFD is pleased to be a Silver Sponsor at the event and will be staging an exhibit.
CPFD Software enters into a 2-year software licensing contract with ENEA of Italy. ENEA uses Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation software for the simulation of a dual fluidized bed (DFB) system aimed at the modelling of several components of the EU research infrastructure ZECOMIX (Zero Emissions of Carbon with Mixed technologies).
When reactive particles which might agglomerate have to be withdrawn quickly from a fluidized bed reactor, intermittent powder discharge reduces the risk of agglomeration by ensuring high turbulence and low residence time in the discharge line
This article highlights the collaboration between CPFD Software and the University of Hull in utilizing Barracuda Virtual Reactor for pioneering research on low-carbon hydrogen production through Sorption-enhanced steam reforming, showcasing the software’s efficiency, scalability, and pivotal role in advancing sustainable technologies.
CPFD Software are excited to participate in Altair’s upcoming webinar titled “Exploring Altair’s Solutions for Granular, Fluid, and Coupled Fluid-Particle Applications”. The webinar is scheduled to take place on March 20, 2024, from 10-11 AM EDT.
In the present study, a numerical simulation is performed to analyse hydrodynamic and heat transfer of a fluidized bed in a vertical channel.
CPFD Software announced that it has entered into a software licensing and services agreement with ACT-ion Battery Technologies. ACT-ion Battery Technologies are developing a novel continuous supercritical hydrothermal manufacturing process for coated single crystal cathode active materials in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory.
The erosion of internals is a major problem in fluidized beds. This review collects, discusses, and compares key experimental and numerical results on erosion of internals immersed in fluidized bed with Geldart B (sometimes near D) particles, comparing the different models and experimental data available in the literature.
