Abstract The instabilities of fluid in the liquid metal battery (LMB) can easily cause a short circuit and lead to safety accidents, which have become bottleneck LMB industrial applications. In this case, structure named grid-structure (GS) based on inner cavity has been used suppress instabilities. Based OpenFOAM-4 x numerical simulation, we analyzed critical electric potential basic structure...

Chemical looping combustion of biomass is a promising carbon capture technology due to its inherent CO2 separation advantage. However, complete fuel conversion, particularly volatiles conversion for biomass, usually not achieved in the reactor. A novel concept named distributor (VD) has been proposed and tested cold-flow fluidized-bed, which shows good potential achieve more uniform horizontal ...
