In the previous project focus was directed towards sub-grid hydrodynamic modeling of fluidized bed reactor gas-solid flows (FAPESP grant 2019/17707-6). The studies are now extended to also include heat transfer sub-grid modeling. Gas-solid fluidized bed reactors are widely applied in chemical, petrochemical and energy industries. Are of higher interest applications like catalytic cracking…
This project intends to contribute for the development of gas-solid fluidized bed reactors, widely applied in the petrochemical and energy industries. Are of higher interest the large scale applications for catalytic cracking of petrol, and for combustion/gasification of fossil/renewable fuels, both responsible for extreme impact over world's economy. The development of fluidized bed reac…
Fluidized bed reactors are widely used in chemical and energy industries, representing a formidable impact on world's economy. The development of such reactors is still a very much empirical science, based upon gradually scaled demonstration plants that involve extremely high costs and times of accomplishment. The current research proposition intends to contribute in the context of replac…
Large Scale Simulations (LSS) of fluidized gas-solid flows require sub-grid closures (meso-scale closures) to recover effects that are filtered by the coarse numerical grids that are applied. Sub-grid closure models based on results of highly resolved simulations with microscopic two-fluid modeling have been derived, assuming that local filtered parameters are independent of the flow topo…
Circulating fluidized bed reactors are widely used in numerous industrial processes of great relevance, including large scale applications such as coal combustion/gasification and catalytic cracking of petroleum. A very relevant area of research in this context is that of mathematical modeling of the rapid gas-solid flows that develop in these reactors, which profoundly affect the concern…
