Evaporation and particle drying are used in Barracuda Virtual Reactor models for a variety of applications, such as: Coal and biomass gasifiers and combustors (particle drying) Flue gas desulfurization units…
When chemical reactions are being modelled in the Barracuda Virtual Reactor, it is sometimes important to consider and control where the heat from reactions goes. This post discusses the distribution…
This evaporation model is now considered out-of-date. Original title of this post: Evaporation Model for Droplets and Solid Particle Drying (Updated) 2024 update: Evaporation Model for Droplets and Solid Particle…
This evaporation model is now considered out-of-date. Original title of this post: Can I model water evaporation from particles in the Barracuda VR 15/16-series 2014 update: Evaporation Model for Droplets…
CPFD Software generally recommends testing chemical reactions and rates in a single-cell model before implementing in a full scale model. What do we mean by a single-cell chemistry test? There…
For a system with a mixture of reacting gases, the user has a decision whether to initialize the system with an inert gas (frequently, nitrogen), which will be displaced upon…
We frequently see questions similar to the following: “I’m sure that the stoichiometry of the reaction I’ve entered is correct but I continue to get a mass balance error. What…
