A novel liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed (LSCFB) is modelled for protein recovery from feed broth. A typical LSCFB system consists of two individual columns (downer and riser), integrating two different operations (adsorption and desorption respectively) simultaneously with continuous adsorbent circulation between these columns. A general purpose, extensible, and dynamic model was written...

To fully understand the environmental and ecological impacts of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, an accurate estimate of the total oil released is required. We used optical plume velocimetry to estimate the velocity of fluids issuing from the damaged well both before and after the collapsed riser pipe was removed. We then calculated the volumetric flow rate under a range of assumptions. With a l...

We report a computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method (CFD-DEM) simulation study on the interplay between mass transfer and a heterogeneous catalyzed chemical reaction in cocurrent gas-particle flows as encountered in risers. Slip velocity, axial gas dispersion, gas bypassing, and particle mixing phenomena have been evaluated under riser flow conditions to study the complex system be...

Abstract In this study, the dynamics of tendon/top tension riser (TTR) system a tension-leg platform (TLP) are investigated through an experiment and by using absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). First, model test TLP is conducted in water tank Harbin Engineering University to examine motion response dynamic characteristics tendon TTR. The scale ratio set 1: 66.3. Then, on basis ANCF, ...

In view of the current status catalytic cracking flue gas treatment, it is necessary to study flow environment desulfurization ash particles, which are a type Geldart C particle, in circulating fluidized bed (CFB) for semi-dry desulphurization using CFB technology. This investigated characteristics particles riser with an inner diameter 70 mm and height 12.6 m, at velocity 4–7 m/s solids circul...

In the present study, the influence of superficial gas velocity and fluid properties on gas holdup and liquid circulation velocity in a three-phase external loop airlift column using polystyrene (0.0036 m diameter and 1025.55 kg/m density) and nylon-6 (0.0035 m diameter and 1084.24 kg/m density) particles with aqueous solutions of alcohols (isoamyl alcohol and propanol) as liquids were investig...

The mission of RISER (Research Institute on Secondary Education Reform for Youth with Disabilities) is to expand the current knowledge base related to practices and policies in secondary schools that enhance learning, achievement, and postschool outcomes for all students. Transition practices related to career development are an important aspect of secondary education reform (Hanley-Maxwell, Ph...
