CPFD Software R&D Update
This presentation by James Parker of CPFD Software discusses the history of Barracuda’s development as well as new and ongoing developments such as Multi-GPU support and VLS systems.
Chemical Reaction Engineering
Chemical Reaction Engineering, Third Edition, by Octave Levenspiel, helps students learn how to answer reactor design questions reliably and effectively.
Standpipes and return systems
Although chemistry is the initial driving force for the development of chemical processes, in many instances the key to successful process operation is how well the solids transport systems have been designed. This is especially true in circulating fluidized bed (CFB) processes, because these processes are dependent upon rapid and reliable circulation of solids.
Strategies to Improve 3D Simulation Accuracy Using 1D Simulation for CFB Boilers
This presentation by Uendo Lee presents a strategy for improving the accuracy of 3D simulation using 1D simulation for CFB boilers.
Multiphase Flow and Fluidization
This paper by Dimitri Gidaspow is useful as a reference for engineers in industry and as an advanced level text for graduate engineering students.
Fluidization Engineering
Fluidization Engineering, Second Edition, by Kunii and Levenspiel, expands on its original scope to encompass these new areas and introduces reactor models specifically for these contacting regimes.
