In this paper a CPFD model for dry flue gas desulfurization (DFGD) systems was developed, validated against lab-scale data, and applied to an industrial-scale unit.
In this paper presented at CFB-11, a team from Babcok & Wilcox Power Generation Group report on Barracuda simulations of a large capacity, pantleg CFB boiler.
About This Video This videos shows the model of a full-scale, 3D, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler using Barracuda Virtual Reactor®. This is a simulation of an actual operating unit…
In this paper a CPFD model is combined with ECT measurements to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior in a CFB boiler with six cyclones.
Barracuda is a robust solution for modeling multiphase particle/gas flows, allowing densities up to the particle packing limit, and greater flexibility to include multiple particle materials, size distributions, and chemical reactions. The software is practical for large industrial applications with complex geometry and boundary conditions.
