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.
CPFD Software continued its longstanding support of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers‘ (AIChE) Particle Technology Forum (PTF) by sponsoring the PTF Student Poster Awards and congratulated Anuj Joshi, Yael Suárez, and Hailey Loehde-Woolard, winners of the 2022 Student Poster Competition.
Standpipes are often the bottleneck in a circulating fluidized bed processes. Understanding the pressure build and dissipation in a standpipe is critical in designing and operating a standpipe that can meet production needs.
The main objective of this study is to shed light on the mechanism by which this erosion takes place, and how different design and operating parameters affect the erosion.
