CPFD Software announces expansion of its team by adding Tanner Stelmach to its growing team of experts in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications.
The bed-to-wall heat transfer of a bubbling fluidized bed is simulated and analyzed using Barracuda Virtual Reactor.
Barracuda Virtual Reactor is used to simulate a scaled-up down flow reactor and to analyze the effects of changing gas velocity and solid mass flux on the cluster behavior.
Dr. Peter Loezos, VP of Engineering at CPFD Software, has been invited to speak at BASF’s “Turnaround risk reduction through FCCU simulation” webinar
This study by researchers at the University College of Southeast Norway and Tel-Tek investigates the applicability of the multiphase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) method for predicting pneumatic conveying characteristics.
In this study by Bioenergy 2020+ and the Technical University of Vienna, an industrial-sized dual fluidized bed biomass gasification system was simulated with Barracuda Virtual Reactor and compared with plant data.
Fluidized bed design and scale-up depends strongly on particle characteristics such as size and shape. Preliminary work on particle shear in a packed and fluidized beds, suggest that particle clustering can be measured and may provide a quantifiable metric for the level of particle clustering.
Barracuda Virtual Reactor is used in conjunction with a coke combustion kinetic model to evaluate and optimize regenerator hydrodynamics in order to increase product yield.
Peter Blaser, CPFD Software’s VP of Operations, will be speaking at the 54th Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ) Autumn Meeting Luncheon Seminar on September 12th, 2023, in Fukuoaka, Japan, virtually.
