The present research aims at numerical simulation via lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) of hydrodynamics inside fixed-bed bioreactors for vinasse treatment. Inasmuch as flow pattern influences species concentration throughout the equipment, comprehensive simulation may help one understand concurrent transport phenomena for proper process design and optimization. Compared to long-standing dis…
The present research proposes to numerically simulate extraction processes taking place in fixed beds containing lyophilized Brazil cherry (Eugenia uniflora L.), using supercritical carbon dioxide. Accordingly, an existing finite-volume simulator will be suitably adapted, which has been employed for transport phenomena within porous media. It is worth mentioning that the experimental coun…
