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.
In this research experiments directed at understanding local mass flux behavior of Geldart Group B materials in the riser of a gas-solids circulating fluidized bed (CFB) have been carried out.
This webinar introduces CPFD’s flagship software product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor which simulates the 3D, transient behavior in industrial-scale, fluid-particle systems including the multiphase hydrodynamics, heat balance and chemical reactions.
This article presents a Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulation of combusting gas and particle flow within the Duisburg 250 MW CFBC chamber.
Experiments involving a gas–solid, pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) have been carried out, with a focus on species segregation measurements in a riser.
NVIDIA will be hosting an hour long webinar on how Barracuda Virtual Reactor leverages NVIDIA technology as well as cloud computing to accelerate the development of plastics recycling technologies.
In this paper, an early version of Barracuda Virtual Reactor was used to validate experimental data for an acrylonitrile fluidized bed reactor.
This paper by Sam Clark of CPFD Software illustrates a multiphase simulation of a commercial-scale fluidized catalytic cracking unit with complex internal geometries and how the computational model can be used to predict wear on internal structures.
