Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of a Complete Coal Direct Chemical Looping Sub-Pilot Unit
Authors
Abstract:
The present Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) work deals with the modeling of complete coal direct chemical looping sub-pilot unit which use coal as fuel and ferric oxide supported on alumina as an oxygen carrier. The 2D CFD model of the complete arrangement incorporating both fuel and air reactors and their inter-connecting parts was solved using FLUENT. The CFD model was run with two different sets of reactions - the first set with eleven and second set with eighteen reactions. Computed results for second set of reactions were found to be in good agreement with the published pilot plant data. The CFD model with second set of reactions predicted fuel conversion for Sub-Bituminous Coal (SBC) and Metallurgical Coke (MC) were 95.39% and 87.07% respectively while, the published results were 97-99% and 70-99% respectively. Further, the purity of CO2 in fuel reactor exhaust were 92.34% and 90.19%, while, the published were 99.8% and 99.6% for SBC & MC respectively.

full textExperimental study and application of computational fluid dynamics on the prediction of air velocity and temperature in a ventilated chamber
The shape of the air flow in the interior is heavily influenced by the air distribution system and the way air enters and exits. By numerically simulating flow by computational fluid dynamics, one can determine the flow pattern and temperature distribution and, with the help of the results, provide an optimal design of the air conditioning system. In this study, a chamber was first constructed ...
full textComputational fluid dynamics as surgical planning tool: a pilot study on middle turbinate resection.
Controversies exist regarding the resection or preservation of the middle turbinate (MT) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Any MT resection will perturb nasal airflow and may affect the mucociliary dynamics of the osteomeatal complex. Neither rhinometry nor computed tomography (CT) can adequately quantify nasal airflow pattern changes following surgery. This study explores the feasibi...
