Effect of orifice size and bond number on bubble formation characteristics: A CFD study

PublicationsBy cpfd-admin July 1, 2015

The volume of fluid with the continuum surface force (VOF-CSF) model has been used in the present numerical study to investigate bubble formation and shapes in a bubble column.

Modelling of methane dry reforming over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor

PublicationsBy cpfd-admin February 1, 2015

The dry reforming of CH4 in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor for the production of hydrogen at different temperatures over supported Ni catalyst is studied in this paper.

CFD for Sorbent-Based Gas Cleanup System

Simulation VideosBy cpfd-admin April 17, 2014

Gas streams from reactors such as gasifiers often have a need to ‘scrub out’ undesirable gas-phase components from the primary product gases. For a gasifier’s syngas this is always sulfur.

Three Dimensional Kinetic Modeling of Fluidized Bed Biomass Gasification

PublicationsBy cpfd-admin January 25, 2014

In this study by Loha, Chattopadhyay, and Chatterjee, simulated gas compositions are found to be in good agreement with experimental data for a bubbling fluidized bed biomass gasifier.

The primary requirements in applying these models is rapid time-to-solution without sacrificing fidelity I have been using CPFD Barracuda for over three years for circulating fluidized bed applications, coal gasification and hydrogasification for reactor design and optimization to scale-up.

CFD Simulation in CPFD Barracuda of a Fluidized Bed Gasifier

Simulation VideosBy cpfd-admin December 3, 2012

A model of a commercial-scale fluidized bed gasifier and includes the coal gasification chemical kinetics.

Eulerian–Lagrangian Method for Three-Dimensional Thermal Reacting Flow with Application to Coal Gasifiers

PublicationsBy cpfd-admin January 1, 2011

Snider, Clark and O’Rourke present an extension of the CPFD methodology to include an enthalpy equation that describes energy transport for fluid, and provides for transfer of sensible and chemical energy between phases and within the fluid mixture, with application to a fluidized bed coal gasifier.

Size of Bubbles in Energetic Gas Injection into Liquid Metal

PublicationsBy cpfd-admin July 1, 1980

A study on the size of bubbles dispersed in memory has been made using the electroresistivity probe technique.
