Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Numerical simulation of multiphase reactors with continuous liquid phase provides current research and findings in multiphase problems, which will assist researchers and engineers to advance this field. This is an ideal reference book for readers who are interested in design and scale-up of multiphase reactors and crystallizers, and using mathematical model and numerical simulation as tools. Yang and Mao's book focuses on modeling and numerical applications directly in the chemical, petrochemical, and hydrometallurgical industries, rather than theories of multiphase flow. The content will help you to solve reacting flow problems and/or system design/optimization problems. The fundamentals and principles of flow and mass transfer in multiphase reactors with continuous liquid phase are covered, which will aid the reader's understanding of multiphase reaction engineering. - Provides practical applications for using multiphase stirred tanks, reactors, and microreactors, with detailed explanation of investigation methods - Presents the most recent research efforts in this highly active field on multiphase reactors and crystallizers - Covers mathematical models, numerical methods and experimental techniques for multiphase flow and mass transfer in reactors and crystallizers

Book Description
Chemical Reactor Modeling closes the gap between Chemical Reaction Engineering and Fluid Mechanics. The second edition consists of two volumes: Volume 1: Fundamentals. Volume 2: Chemical Engineering Applications In volume 1 most of the fundamental theory is presented. A few numerical model simulation application examples are given to elucidate the link between theory and applications. In volume 2 the chemical reactor equipment to be modeled are described. Several engineering models are introduced and discussed. A survey of the frequently used numerical methods, algorithms and schemes is provided. A few practical engineering applications of the modeling tools are presented and discussed. The working principles of several experimental techniques employed in order to get data for model validation are outlined. The monograph is based on lectures regularly taught in the fourth and fifth years graduate courses in transport phenomena and chemical reactor modeling and in a post graduate course in modern reactor modeling at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering, Trondheim, Norway. The objective of the book is to present the fundamentals of the single-fluid and multi-fluid models for the analysis of single and multiphase reactive flows in chemical reactors with a chemical reactor engineering rather than mathematical bias. Organized into 13 chapters, it combines theoretical aspects and practical applications and covers some of the recent research in several areas of chemical reactor engineering. This book contains a survey of the modern literature in the field of chemical reactor modeling.
Fluidized-Bed Reactors: Processes and Operating Conditions
Author: John G. YatesPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319395939
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
The fluidized-bed reactor is the centerpiece of industrial fluidization processes. This book focuses on the design and operation of fluidized beds in many different industrial processes, emphasizing the rationale for choosing fluidized beds for each particular process. The book starts with a brief history of fluidization from its inception in the 1940’s. The authors present both the fluid dynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds and the extensive experimental studies of operating systems and they set them in the context of operating processes that use fluid-bed reactors. Chemical engineering students and postdocs as well as practicing engineers will find great interest in this book.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling and Simulations of Fluidized Bed Reactors for Chemical Looping Combustion

Book Description
Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a next generation combustion technology that shows great promise as a solution for the need of high-efficiency low-cost carbon capture from fossil fueled power plants. To realize this technology on an industrial scale, the development of high-fidelity simulations is a necessary step to develop a thorough understanding of the CLC process. Although there have been a number of experimental studies on CLC in recent years, CFD simulations have been limited in the literature.In this dissertation, reacting flow simulations of a CLC reactor are developed using the Eulerian approach based on a laboratory-scale experiment of a dual fluidized bed CLC system. The salient features of the fluidization behavior in the air reactor and fuel reactor beds representing a riser and a bubbling bed respectively are accurately captured in the simulation. This work is one of the first 3-D simulations of a complete circulating dual fluidized bed system; it highlights the importance of conducting 3-D simulations of CLC systems and the need for more accurate empirical reaction rate data for future CLC simulations.Simulations of the multiphase flow with chemical reactions in a spouted bed fuel reactor for coal-direct CLC are performed based on the Lagrangian particle tracking approach. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) provides the means for tracking the motion of individual metal oxide particles in the CLC system as they react with the fuel and is coupled with CFD for capturing the solid-gas multiphase hydrodynamics. The overall results of the coupled CFD-DEM simulations using Fe-based oxygen carriers reacting with gaseous CH4 demonstrate that chemical reactions have been successfully incorporated into the CFD-DEM approach. The simulations show a strong dependence of the fluidization performance of the fuel reactor on the density of bed material and provide important insight into selecting the right oxygen carrier for the enhanced performance.Given the high computing cost of CFD-DEM, it is necessary to develop a scaling methodology based on the principles of dynamic similarity that can be applied to expand the scope of this approach to larger CLC systems up to the industrial scale. A new scaling methodology based on the terminal velocity is proposed for spouted fluidized beds. Simulations of a laboratory-scale spouted fluidized bed are used to characterize the performance of the new scaling law in comparison with existing scaling laws in the literature. It is shown that the new model improves the accuracy of the simulation results compared to the other scaling methodologies while also providing the largest reduction in the number of particles and in turn in the computing cost.CFD-DEM simulations are conducted of the binary particle bed associated with a coal-direct CLC system consisting of coal (represented by plastic beads) and oxygen carrier particles and validated against an experimental riser-based carbon stripper. The simulation results of the particle behavior and the separation ratio of the particles are in excellent agreement with the experiment. A credible simulation of a binary particle bed is of particular importance for understanding the details of the fluidization behavior; the baseline simulation established in this work can be used as a tool for designing and optimizing the performance of such systems.The simulations conducted in this dissertation provide a strong foundation for future simulations of CD-CLC systems using solid coal as fuel, considering the additional complexities associated with the changing density and diameter of the coal particles as devolatilization and gasification process occur. A complete reacting flow simulation in the CFD-DEM framework will be crucial for the successful deployment of CD-CLC technology from the laboratory scale to pilot and industrial scale projects.
