[ 1 ] - CFD Modeling of TiO2 Nano-Agglomerates Hydrodynamics in a Conical Fluidized Bed Unit with Experimental Validation

In the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of gas-solids two phase flow, the effect of boundary conditions play an important role in predicting the hydrodynamic characteristics of fluidized beds. In this work, the hydrodynamics of conical fluidized bed containing dried TiO2 nano-agglomerates were studied both experimentally and computationally. The pressure drop ...

[ 2 ] - Prediction of Minimum Spout Velocity and Moisture Distribution of Ammonium Perchlorate Particles in a Spouted Bed Dryer

Ammonium perchlorate particles have been dried in a laboratory spouted bed dryer (screen-bottomed type) which is categorized as a fluidized bed dryer. The solid particles obtained in this process of drying were semi-porous and known as the group D of Geldart classification. The variations of moisture content with resident time, the effects of bed height on the pressure dro...

[ 3 ] - A Numerical Simulation Model of Solid Acid Fuel Cell Performance by CsH2PO4 Electrolyte

The performance of the solid acid fuel cell by CsH2PO4 electrolyte was analyzed using the present model of the electrochemical reaction and transport phenomena, which are fully coupled with the governing equations. Development of such a model requires creating the three-dimensional geometry and its mesh grid, discretization of momentum, mass and electric charge balance equation and solving the ...
