Fondrémy Inc., in collaboration with LAEMPE REICH, used Arena-flow to improve casting quality and reduce tooling costs for a complex water pump housing. By simulating sand core shooting and gassing, the team minimized prototyping, accelerated production, and transitioned to a high-yield, vertically poured molding process.
This paper presents validation and application of Arena-flow for sand core blowing and curing processes.
In this paper by Dale M. Snider, granular flow of three granular flow experiments is predicted by a CPFD numerical scheme in three dimension using the true particle size distribution.
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.
In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to investigate the performance of glycerol steam reforming in a fluidized bed system.
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
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.
Learn how solid feed gasification enables the large-scale conversion of biomass and municipal solid waste into renewable fuels and chemicals, supporting decarbonization goals.
A reactive multiphase particle-in-cell approach is adopted to numerically investigate the physical and thermochemical characteristics of glycerol steam reforming process in a three-dimensional bubbling fluidized bed.
A mathematical model taking into account multicomponent (six species) mass balances, overall mass balance, Ergun relation for the pressure drop, energy balance for the bed-volume element including the heat transfer to the column wall, and nonlinear adsorption equilibrium isotherm coupled with three main reactions was derived to model SESMR.
