Abstract: A particle-fluid flow simulation of a commercial-scale fluidized catalytic cracking unit has been conducted. The simulation was full-scale, three-dimensional, and with complex internal geometries. The focus of the computational model was to predict wear on internal structures. The geometry of the particle feed pipe was found to cause asymmetric flow of high-speed gas which led to significant wear
