Computational particle fluid dynamics 3D simulation of the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming process in a dual fluidized bed of bifunctional sorbent-catalyst particles
In this paper, the simulation of the SE-SMR process in a DFB reactor is done in Barracuda Virtual Reactor, and the effects of bed inventory, superficial velocity and steam to methane ratio on hydrogen purity and methane conversion are discussed
Vertical Standpipe Aeration: Effects of Non-Uniform Aeration on Standpipe Pressure and Solids Flux
Standpipes are an essential component to circulating fluidized bed systems. They are one of the only components of a circulating fluidized bed system that build pressure and adjust their height and pressure build automatically to balance the pressure drop along the rest of the circulating loop.
Textile Fiber Sorting: Model Fibers
This PSRI Research Brief (RB 238) describes a new method developed at PSRI for sorting textile fibers
In-situ desulfurization using porous Ca-based materials for the oxy-CFB process: A computational study
In this study, the gas and solid behaviors in a pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed combustor were investigated by using Barracuda numerical simulations under oxy-fuel combustion conditions.

State-of-the-art review of fluidized bed stripper internals
This publication summarizes studies available in the open literature on fluidized bed strippers as applied to the FCC and fluid coker unit operations.
100 years of scaling up fluidized bed and circulating fluidized bed reactors
This paper discusses how the landscape of fluidization technology has evolved over the last century.
Experimental and Numerical Research on Chemical Looping Gasification of Coal Char in a Pressured Fluidized Bed Reactor
Barracuda Virtual Reactor simulations and experiments were used to study the gasification of Erdos bituminous coal char with Fe2O3/Al2O3 under the pressure of 0.1-0.5 MPa
MP-PIC Simulation of Biomass Steam Gasification Using Ilmenite as an Oxygen Carrier
For a better understanding of this process, biomass steam gasification using ilmenite as an oxygen carrier is numerically investigated in this work using Barracuda Virtual Reactor, which is a modified Euler–Lagrange approach.
