Particle Flow Through an L-valve
This video is part of set of simulations for a novel, fluidised-bed-based plastic recycling system. In this simulation, particle flow through an L valve is studied.
Monitoring and Quantifying Simulation Speed
Knowing the speed of a simulation and understanding what drives simulation wall times is important. This post covers monitoring wall time, qualifying the speed of a simulation, and briefly touches…
Monitoring and Analyzing RLM License Usage
In this post, we will show how to monitor and analyze license usage when using the Reprise License Manager (both on-premise and RLMCloud). This can provide valuable usage information to…
Fluidization for Sustainability and Decarbonization Applications: The Parallel Evolving Roles of Processes and Computational Tools
This article examines the current trends in fluidization that have come about due to the newfound focus on sustainable applications, and how the role of computation tools used by those pursuing the applications is changing as well.
Insights in steam reforming of glycerol in a fluidized bed by CFD modeling
In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to investigate the performance of glycerol steam reforming in a fluidized bed system.
Methane steam reforming, methanation and water-gas shift: I. Intrinsic kinetics
In this paper, intrinsic rate equations were derived for the steam reforming of methane, accompanied by water-gas shift on a Ni/MgAl2O4 catalyst. A large number of detailed reaction mechanisms were considered
Glycerol steam reforming for hydrogen production: Traditional versus membrane reactor
A phenomenological model was developed for predicting the performance of a traditional reactor (TR) versus a membrane reactor (MR) for hydrogen production via glycerol steam reforming (GSR), which was validated against experimental data. The results were evaluated in terms of glycerol conversion and products yield and selectivity, and for the MR the hydrogen recovery was also accounted.
