This paper by Kuochen Tsai, Ernesto Rafael Fonseca, Sujatha Degaleesan, and Ed Lake from Shell shows advances in the numerical simulation of proppant transport in hydraulically stimulated fractures for oil and gas production.
Experiments involving monodisperse Geldart Group B particles were carried out in a pilot-scale riser of a circulating fluidized bed, and several combinations of superficial gas velocity, solid flux, average particle diameter, and particle material density were investigated
Gas–solids circulating fluidized bed (CFB) experiments have been carried out, with a focus on understanding the impact of polydispersity on cluster characteristics in a dilute riser.
This video shows transient computational fluid dynamics model results for an industrial dry flue gas desulfurization system.
This paper investigates the capability of the Multiphase Particle in Cell (MP-PIC) approach for modeling a bubbling fluidized bed of Geldart A particles.
Experiments with a focus on the impact of polydispersity on clustering characteristics (namely, appearance probability, duration, and frequency) of Geldart Group B particles in a circulating fluidized bed riser have been performed.
This video shows the transient, 3D modeling of the thermal and reacting flows inside an FCC riser located on the Arabian Peninsula.
Experiments in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser with Geldart Group B particles have been carried out with an emphasis on cluster characterization.
In order to create fast fluidized beds designed to maximize coal gasification yields and designed to provide an optimum syngas composition with minimum operational upsets, a comprehensive model for steam gasification is created using CPFD methods.
A model of a full-scale fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerator using the Eulerian-Lagrangian CPFD method in Barracuda VR. This video illustrates the use of the Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict the 100°F afterburn observed at the refinery.
