A 2.5D Computational Method to Simulate Cylindrical Fluidized Beds

Journal Article Li, Tingwen ; Benyahia, Sofiane ; Dietiker, Jeff ; ... - Chemical Engineering Science, 123:236-246

In this paper, the limitations of axisymmetric and Cartesian two-dimensional (2D) simulations of cylindrical gas-solid fluidized beds are discussed. A new method has been proposed to carry out pseudo-two-dimensional (2.5D) simulations of a cylindrical fluidized bed by appropriately combining computational domains of Cartesian 2D and axisymmetric simulations. The proposed method was implemented in the open-source code MFIX and applied to the simulation of a lab-scale bubbling fluidized bed with necessary sensitivity study. After a careful grid study to ensure the numerical results are grid independent, detailed comparisons of the flow hydrodynamics were presented against axisymmetric and Cartesian 2D simulations.

Validation of a 2.5D CFD model for cylindrical gas–solids fluidized beds

Journal Article Li, Tingwen - Powder Technology

The 2.5D model recently proposed by Li et al. (Li, T., Benyahia, S., Dietiker, J., Musser, J., and Sun, X., 2015. A 2.5D computational method to simulate cylindrical fluidized beds. Chemical Engineering Science. 123, 236-246.) was validated for two cylindrical gas-solids bubbling fluidized bed systems. Different types of particles tested under various flow conditions were simulated using the traditional 2D model and the 2.5D model. Detailed comparison against the experimental measurements on solid concentration and velocity were conducted. Comparing to the traditional Cartesian 2D flow simulation, the 2.5D model yielded better agreement with the experimental data especially for the solidmore »« less

A computer simulation of hydrodynamics and heat transfer at immersed surfaces in a fluidized bed

Conference Kodikal, N J ; Bhavnani, S H

A computer simulation of the hydrodynamics and heat transfer processes in a fluidized bed with bubbles propagating from a single jet has been developed. The velocity, volume fraction, and temperature distributions of both phases predicted by the model show satisfactory agreement with the experimental models of Kuipers (1990). An Eulerian-Eulerian approach that incorporates a two-fluid model was utilized. The simulation was developed using a general purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver; PHOENICS{reg{underscore}sign}. The conservation equations describing the physics of the two-phase nature of the fluidized bed are solved using the finite volume approach. The Interphase-Slip-Algorithm, which is a part ofmore »« less
Nonintrusive Uncertainty Quantification of Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of a Bench-Scale Fluidized-Bed Gasifier

Journal Article Gel, Aytekin ; Shahnam, Mehrdad ; Musser, Jordan ; ... - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) analysis is increasingly becoming one of the major requirements of simulation-based engineering to assess the confidence in the results and make better-informed decisions based on the insight derived from the simulations. In an earlier study, Bayesian UQ analysis was applied to existing bench-scale fluidized-bed gasifier experiment results. In the current study, a series of simulations were carried over with the open-source computational fluid dynamics software MFiX to reproduce the experimental conditions, where three operating factors, i.e., coal flow rate, coal particle diameter, and steam-to-oxygen ratio, were systematically varied to understand their effect on the syngas composition.

Computer simulation and parametric study of a Sasol type fluidized bed Fischer-Tropsch reactor

Technical Report Visser, P R

A computer program composed of a mass and energy balance for a Sasol type Fischer-Tropsch fluidized bed reactor is presented. A parametric study is performed using temperature, pressure, degree of hydrocarbon saturation and average hydrocarbon chain length as variables. Increasing temperature is found to decrease the amount of hydrocarbons formed. The results of variation of pressure confirmed a relationship exists between conversion, temperature and residence time. The effect on product distribution by varying the last two parameters is negligible. Relationships between reactor pressure and temperature and the hydrocarbon degree of saturation and average chain length exists, however, at this timemore »« less
