Hydrodynamics of high velocity circulating fluidized bed risers of FCC catalyst particles
Although extensive CFB riser studies have been conducted, most of the reported data are for risers operating at relatively low gas velocities. There is a lack of hydrodynamics data for conditions similar or close to those of commercial FCC risers.
Performance Prediction of Riser Termination Devices Using Barracuda Virtual Reactor®
Kodam, Freireich, Pretz, and Stears from Dow discuss how Barracuda Virtual Reactor has been used to investigate riser termination device performance for separating catalyst particles from the gas phase.
Application of the MP-PIC Method for Predicting Pneumatic Conveying Characteristics of Dilute Phase Flows
This study by researchers at the University College of Southeast Norway and Tel-Tek investigates the applicability of the multiphase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) method for predicting pneumatic conveying characteristics.
Small-Scale Particle Interactions Are Having Significant Effects on Global Fluidized Bed Behavior
Fluidized bed design and scale-up depends strongly on particle characteristics such as size and shape. Preliminary work on particle shear in a packed and fluidized beds, suggest that particle clustering can be measured and may provide a quantifiable metric for the level of particle clustering.
Operating Parameter Effects on the Solids Circulation Rate in the CFD Simulation of a Dual Fluidized-Bed Gasification System
In this work by Liu, Cattolica, and Seiser from UCSD, a three-dimensional model was established to simulate the hydrodynamics of a dual fluidized-bed gasification system.
